Mazama Vikings Girls Volleyball 3-2 North Valley

A five-set battle ended in Mazama's favor Thursday night, as the Vikings volleyball team held off North Valley 3-2 in a non-league home match at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The victory moves Mazama, a member of the Intermountain Conference (5A), to 3-6 on the season.

With the match going the distance, the Vikings showed resilience that has been harder to come by through the early portion of their schedule. Dropping sets in a five-set match means both teams traded momentum throughout the evening, and Mazama ultimately found a way to close it out when it mattered most.

The win comes at a meaningful time for a squad that had been searching for consistency. Earning a hard-fought victory against an out-of-conference opponent in a five-set grind is exactly the kind of confidence-building result that can shift a season's trajectory.

Mazama returns to action next week, looking to build on this momentum and work toward climbing the Intermountain Conference standings before the postseason picture begins to take shape.
