Ashland Grizzlies Girls Volleyball 0-2 North Medford

North Medford handed Ashland a 2-0 defeat in girls volleyball on Tuesday night, opening the 2026 fall season with a setback for the home side. The match was played in Ashland, Oregon, where the Midwestern League (5A) program hosted North Medford in a non-league tune-up to begin the year. Without a detailed box score available, the two-set margin tells a clear story: North Medford came in ready to play and controlled the match from the start. For Ashland, it was a difficult way to open a new campaign, dropping the team to 0-1 on the season. Non-league early-season matchups like this one serve an important purpose, giving coaches a chance to evaluate what needs work before league play begins. The lessons from Tuesday's performance will matter far more than the result itself. Ashland will look to bounce back quickly and build some momentum before Midwestern League competition gets underway.
