Margaret Tanner dropped in a pair of goals and Wayne Country Day turned back Oakwood, 2-0, on the Coastal Plains Independent 1-A/2-A Conference scene on senior day.

Margaux Pope recorded one assist.

Goalie Bailee Creger recorded her 10th shutout of the season between the pipes. WCDS has allowed six goals in 1,100 minutes of play.

"It was a solid performance by us tonight," WCDS head coach Steve Ellis said. "I changed our formation for the game at practice last night (Thursday) to press the Oakwood players higher and the girls stuck to the plan. Margaret's second goal was fantastic, great first touch, nice control and the composure to cut inside and shoot was great."

Five seniors played in their regular-season home finale -- Creger, Mollie Catherine McDonald, Meredith Roethling, Karis Hawkins and Kennedy Dalton.

"It was nice to get the win for our seniors for all of the effort that they have put in over the years," Ellis said.

Wayne Country Day (7-3-3 overall, 6-2-1 CPIC) concludes regular-season play Tuesday at archrival Greenfield. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Ben Forbes Field.
