West Linn Lions Girls Volleyball 2-0 South Medford

West Linn's girls volleyball team opened its 2026 season with a clean 2-0 sweep, defeating South Medford on the road Friday night to move to 1-0 on the year. The Lions, who represent West Linn, Oregon, in the Three Rivers League (6A), made the trip south to face the Panthers in a non-league opener and handled business in straight sets. Winning on the road in the first match of the season is no small thing, and the Lions showed the kind of composure that suggests they arrived prepared and confident from the jump. Without a full box score available, the two-set shutout tells its own story, pointing to a West Linn squad that controlled serve, minimized errors, and executed when it counted. It was exactly the kind of season-opening statement a program wants to make heading into league play. The Lions will look to build on this early momentum as they return home and begin preparing for their Three Rivers League schedule.
