Catlin Gabel Eagles Girls Soccer 8-1 Brookings-Harbor

Catlin Gabel made the long drive down the Oregon coast count, opening the 2026 girls soccer season with an emphatic 8-1 road victory over Brookings-Harbor on Friday night. The Eagles, based in Portland and competing in the Lewis & Clark League (3A), wasted no time announcing themselves with a dominant performance against a Brookings-Harbor side that had little answer for Catlin Gabel's attacking pressure throughout the match. The eight-goal output signaled early offensive depth for a program that will need consistent production when league play begins. While the non-league result carries no standings weight, the confidence gained from a commanding road performance against a southern Oregon opponent is exactly the kind of momentum a young squad can build on. Catlin Gabel moves to 1-0 on the season and will look to carry that energy into upcoming non-league fixtures before the Lewis & Clark League schedule intensifies. The Eagles have served notice early that this could be a team worth watching.
