South Umpqua Lancers Softball 3-1 North Valley

Pitching and timely hitting carried South Umpqua to a 3-1 victory over North Valley on Tuesday afternoon, extending the Lancers' impressive start to the softball season. The non-league win pushed South Umpqua's record to 7-1, maintaining their position as one of Douglas County's top teams through the early weeks of spring.

Facing a North Valley squad looking to play spoiler on the road, the Lancers controlled the game from the circle while manufacturing just enough offense to secure the victory. South Umpqua managed to build a lead and hold off any late rallies from the visitors.

The win represents another solid performance for a Lancer team that has found consistency on both sides of the ball this season. With only one loss through eight games, South Umpqua has established itself as a force to be reckoned with heading deeper into the campaign.

The Lancers will look to keep their momentum rolling as they prepare for their next challenge, aiming to build on what has already been an encouraging start to the 2026 season.
