Oregon Episcopal Aardvarks Girls Volleyball 3-2 Neah-Kah-Nie

Oregon Episcopal survived a five-set battle Thursday night, defeating Neah-Kah-Nie 3-2 in a girls volleyball league match played at home in Portland, Oregon. The win counts in Lewis & Clark League (3A) play and gives the Aardvarks a much-needed boost heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

The five-set format meant neither team was willing to fold easily, and OES had to dig deep to close it out. A straight-set victory would have been cleaner, but finding a way to win in five sets speaks to the Aardvarks' resilience when things get complicated.

With the victory, Oregon Episcopal moves to 10-9-2 overall and 2-6 in league play. The overall record now sits above the break-even line for the first time in a while, which is meaningful momentum as postseason conversations begin to take shape.

OES will look to build on Thursday's gritty performance as league matches grow increasingly important with the regular season winding down.
