Lincoln Cardinals Girls Volleyball 3-0 Mountainside

Lincoln's girls volleyball team wasted no time making a statement, sweeping Mountainside 3-0 on the road Tuesday evening to open the 2026 fall season. The Cardinals, representing Portland, Oregon, in the Portland Interscholastic League (6A), traveled to Beaverton to take on Mountainside in a non-league tuneup and left with a clean sheet across all three sets. Without a detailed box score available, the sweep itself tells a clear story. Winning all three sets without dropping one on an opponent's home floor is a strong early indicator of focus and execution. Lincoln moves to 1-0 on the young season, a tidy start for a PIL program looking to establish its identity heading into conference play. Mountainside, a 6A program out of the Metro League, provided a quality early test for that purpose. The Cardinals will look to build on this momentum as their schedule fills out in the coming weeks.
