West Linn Lions Girls Soccer 3-3 North Medford

West Linn's girls soccer team opened its 2026 fall season with a 3-3 tie against North Medford on Thursday evening at home in West Linn, Oregon, splitting points in a high-scoring non-league opener for the Three Rivers League (6A) Lions. The back-and-forth affair saw both teams find the net three times, suggesting West Linn has offensive firepower to work with as the season gets underway. Neither side could pull away for good, making for an entertaining debut that will give head coaches plenty of film to study heading into league play. While a draw to open the year is not the result West Linn was chasing in front of its home crowd, the Lions showed they can generate goals, and the defensive lessons learned here come early enough to correct before Three Rivers competition heats up. West Linn sits at 0-0-1 on the young season and will look to grab its first win when the schedule resumes next week.
