Herald staff

EVERETT – The Cascade Bruins made the first move in Western Conference North Division girls soccer race with a 3-0 opening-game win over Oak Harbor Wednesday at Everett Memorial Stadium.

Last season, Oak Harbor defeated Cascade in the final week of the season to drop the Bruins from sole possession of first place into a four-way, first-place tie in Wesco 4A.

The Bruins appeared to have scored twice in the opening minutes of the game, only to have both goals called back on offside violations.

Bruin head coach Jamie Gay said his team is strong at both ends of the field.

“The team worked hard and did a good job of stopping a fast forward line. It was a tough first game, particularly since we opened with a league contest,” said Gay.
