Forest Grove Vikings Girls Volleyball 2-0 North Medford

Forest Grove volleyball started its 2026 season on the right foot Friday night, sweeping North Medford 2-0 in a non-league home opener at Forest Grove, Oregon. The Vikings, who compete in the Pacific Conference (6A), handled the visiting Black Tornados in straight sets to move to 1-0 on the young season. It was a promising debut for a Forest Grove squad looking to establish itself early before Pacific Conference play begins in earnest. Opening the season with a sweep sends a clear message about the program's intentions, and doing it at home in front of a home crowd gives the Vikings real momentum heading into the weeks ahead. North Medford made the long trip up from Southern Oregon, and Forest Grove gave them no room to settle in. The Vikings will look to build on this strong start as their non-league schedule continues and the competition begins to ramp up toward conference play.
