Summit Storm Girls Volleyball 1-2 Sheldon

Sheldon edged Summit 2-1 in sets on Wednesday in Eugene, dropping the Storm's girls volleyball season opener and leaving Bend, Oregon's Intermountain Conference (5A) program with an 0-1 record to start 2026. Playing on the road against the Irish in a non-league tune-up, Summit pushed the match to a competitive three-set affair but could not secure the decisive third set needed to walk away with a win. The result marks a tough introduction to the fall schedule, though non-league road contests against quality opponents are exactly the kind of early tests that can sharpen a roster before conference play begins. With no prior match data from this young squad, Wednesday's performance offers coaching staff their first real look at where the Storm stand heading into the season. Summit will look to regroup and earn its first win when the schedule continues later this week.
