Grants Pass Cavemen Boys Soccer 0-1 North Salem

North Salem edged Grants Pass 1-0 in a boys soccer non-league road match on Tuesday, handing the Cavemen their first loss of the 2026 fall season. Grants Pass, a Southwest Conference (6A) program out of Grants Pass, Oregon, traveled to Salem looking to build early momentum but couldn't find the back of the net against a determined North Salem side. The Vikings earned the clean sheet with a narrow one-goal victory, making the difference on the scoreline stand up through the final whistle. Without a detailed box score, the margin tells the story well enough. A tight, low-scoring match on the road in the season's first game is not an unusual result, and the Cavemen will have plenty of opportunities to respond as the schedule unfolds. Grants Pass drops to 0-1 on the young season. The Cavemen return home to regroup and look ahead to their next opportunity, where they will look to get into the win column for the first time in 2026.
