Ida B. Wells Guardians Boys Soccer 1-0 Tigard

A shutout on the road was the perfect way to begin the year. Ida B. Wells, a Portland, Oregon, boys soccer program competing in the Portland Interscholastic League (6A), traveled to Tigard on Tuesday and came away with a 1-0 non-league victory to open the 2026 fall season. The Guardians weathered a road environment and kept a clean sheet against a Tigard side that figures to be a tough out for anyone on its home pitch. Earning three points away from home in the first match of the year is exactly the kind of confidence-builder a young squad can build around as league play approaches. With the result, Ida B. Wells moves to 1-0 on the season. The lone goal proved to be all the offense the Guardians needed, and the defense held firm when it mattered most. The team will look to carry that momentum forward as the schedule stiffens and PIL competition draws closer.
