The Oak Harbor High School volleyball team celebrated Senior Night with an easy 3-0 win over visiting Marysville Getchell Tuesday, Oct. 21.

Oak Harbor coach Kerri Molitor started an all-senior group along with junior Claire Anderson, and the make-shift lineup rolled by the Chargers in the first two games 25-14, 25-14.

In the third game, Molitor turned the match over to the underclassmen, and the unit also had little trouble with Getchell (0-9, 0-11), winning 25-13.

In the first set, the Chargers hung around for a while. Oak Harbor led only 14-11, then ran off four straight points behind the serving of Anderson to pull away.

The Wildcats jumped to a 7-1 lead in the second game and were never threatened.

The underclassmen played well together in practice Monday, according to Molitor, but got off to a ragged start in the third game. However, after the early struggles, the Wildcats bounced back to bury the visitors.

Anderson had 17 kills, seven digs and two aces.

Aubrey Lock and Daranee Sornthom added five digs each.

Amelia Berner and Hailee Blau recorded two blocks apiece, and Hailey Beecher finished with 11 assists.

Oak Harbor (6-3, 6-5) travels to Everett (2-7, 2-9) at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23.
