Central Catholic Rams Girls Volleyball 2-1 La Salle Prep

Central Catholic's girls volleyball team started the 2026 season on the right foot Saturday, defeating La Salle Prep 2-1 in a non-league home match at Portland, Oregon's Central Catholic High School, where the Rams compete in the Mt. Hood Conference (6A). The three-set victory gave the Rams a 1-0 record heading into the weeks ahead. La Salle Prep, a fellow Portland-area program, pushed Central Catholic the full distance, making the Rams earn every point in a competitive early-season test. Matches like this one, against a familiar regional opponent, serve a purpose beyond the win column. They shake off rust, reveal areas for growth, and build the kind of resilience that matters when Mt. Hood Conference play begins. Central Catholic responded well to the challenge of dropping a set, finding a way to close it out. The Rams will look to carry that composure into their next contest as they build on a strong opening result.
