North Medford Black Tornado Girls Volleyball 3-2 Ashland

North Medford's girls volleyball team needed every bit of five sets to come away with a 3-2 victory at Ashland on Thursday night, a hard-fought non-league win for the Black Tornado of Medford, Oregon. The Southwest Conference (6A) program rallied past the Grizzlies on the road, showing the kind of resilience that can carry a team deep into the postseason stretch. The match went the distance, and North Medford found a way to close it out when it mattered most. The win moves the Black Tornado to 10-8 on the season, a record that reflects a competitive schedule and a team still finding its best volleyball at the right time of year. With league play continuing to shape the standings, Thursday's road result is a confidence-building moment for a North Medford squad that will look to carry this momentum forward. The Black Tornado return to action next week with a chance to build on one of their grittier performances of the fall.
