GCG Week 2: Oasis-Mariner matchup canceled after storms sweep through Southwest Florida<\/p>\n

The Sharks and Tritons were set to meet for the first time Friday night, but lightning and heavy rain forced the anticipated Week 2 matchup to be called off.<\/p>\n

\"Maria<\/a>CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

Oasis and Mariner will have to wait a little longer to make some program history.<\/p>\n

The Sharks and Tritons were scheduled to meet for the first time Friday night, but a night that began with lightning delays eventually turned into torrential rain across parts of Fort Myers and Cape Coral.<\/p>\n

There was plenty of anticipation surrounding the Week 2 matchup. The parking lot at Mariner was packed well before the scheduled kickoff as both programs looked to build on eventful season openers.<\/p>\n

Oasis entered the night 1-0 after rallying in the second half to defeat Southwest Florida Christian 18-14. Sophomore running back Cameron Hill rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns in the victory, including the go-ahead score.<\/p>\n

Mariner was looking to bounce back after nearly overcoming an early 17-point deficit in its opener against Wellen Park. Senior Jamarion Corbett provided a spark for the Tritons with 95 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just four carries in the 24-21 loss.<\/p>\n

But before either team could write the first chapter of this new matchup, Mother Nature had other plans.<\/p>\n

After an extended lightning delay and increasingly heavy rain, the game was ultimately canceled.<\/p>\n
