PELS WIN!! PELS WIN!! Congrats to the Klamath Union boys soccer team for a big win at Tillamook this past Tuesday.

Klamath Union found itself in panic during the first half of its OSAA Class 4A first-round state championship matchup against Tillamook. The Pelicans fell behind, 1-0, going into halftime.

Klamath Union senior forward, Jose Garcia, brought his team back when he evened the game with a goal after receiving a pass from junior teammate, Calen Morton.

Junior Luca Manzano Rodriguez sent the Pelicans into a frenzy after his game-winning goal, with an assist coming from Omar Garcia.

The defeat of Tillamook is the first playoff victory for KU's boys soccer program since 2011 when the Pelicans beat Madras in the first round, 2-0, on Conger Field.

Klamath Union will now travel to face No. 1 seed Stayton, which is 14-0-0 this season. KU will play the Eagles starting at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9 in Stayton.

The upcoming quarterfinal matchup will feature the top defenses from 4A play as KU has allowed nine goals this season and the Eagles only five.

Klamath Union girls soccer

Klamath Union girls soccer had its last game of the year, the last as Pelicans for seniors Marley Ogao, Jazmin Wilson, Myleah Vargas and Andi Harmon.

The Pelicans were eliminated from the state playoffs after a neck-and-neck first-round game against Philomath this past Wednesday and fell, 1-0.

A Philomath first-half goal was all the Warriors needed to get past the Pelicans.

Klamath Union girls soccer earned its most wins since 2014 with its 9-4-1 record this year.

The KU girls soccer team has made some noise in the Skyline Conference while Ogao, Wilson, Vargas and Harmon have been with the program.

The group also made the state tournament back in 2022 when the Pelicans fell to Gladstone in the first round.

Klamath Union volleyball

Klamath Union volleyball found itself with a difficult OSAA Class 4A first-round matchup with the No. 2 ranked team in the state, Marist Catholic.

The Pelicans were outmatched and swept in the matchup with Marist Catholic, which won, 25-3, 25-15, 25-14.

Klamath Union will be saying farewell to its three seniors, Eden Johnston, Angela Lowry and Jacie Madden.

Madden is a week removed after earning the honor of being named the top volleyball player in the state.

KU ended its season with a second-place finish in the Skyline Conference, ending with a 6-2 record in the conference and were 9-9 overall.
