West Linn brings a top-10 state ranking and a two-match winning streak into Tualatin's gym Thursday, Oct. 1, at 6:30 p.m. for a Three Rivers League volleyball match.

The Lions landed at No. 10 in the 6A coaches poll released Tuesday, Sept. 29, as reported by OSAAtoday via Valley Times. West Linn swept Lake Oswego 3-0 that same day to extend its streak, according to Your Oregon News. Senior middle blocker Sophia Silva dominated the middle of the net, while sophomore outside hitter Elsie Bauer and senior Gigi Martin led the Lions' attack.

MaxPreps, updated Wednesday, Sept. 30, listed West Linn at 4-2 in league play and 9-5 overall. The Your Oregon News report put the Lions at 6-1 in TRL and 11-4 overall after the Lake Oswego win, a discrepancy that may reflect differences in how tournament matches are counted.

Tualatin enters Thursday in a tougher spot. The Timberwolves are 6-6 overall and 1-4 in league play, placing fifth in the 6A Three Rivers, according to MaxPreps. Tualatin fell to Nelson 3-1 on Tuesday, Sept. 29, and lost a five-set match at Lakeridge on Thursday, Sept. 24.

The two teams already met this season. West Linn won 3-0 on Sept. 8.

Tualatin is 1-4 in league with four TRL matches remaining in October after Thursday. The Timberwolves travel to Tigard on Tuesday, Oct. 6, then visit Lake Oswego on Thursday, Oct. 8. Matches at Oregon City on Tuesday, Oct. 13, and at Lakeridge on Tuesday, Oct. 20, round out the stretch.

West Linn heads to the Jesuit tournament on Saturday, Oct. 3, then travels to Oregon City on Tuesday, Oct. 6, and to Tigard on Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Silva said after the Lake Oswego match that staying positive and keeping behind the ball helped her see the court better, according to Your Oregon News.

First serve Thursday is 6:30 p.m. at Tualatin High School.
