ADA - The Ada girls basketball team scored the last six points of the game to break a tie and post a hard-earned 52-46 non-conference win over visiting Van Buren Tuesday evening.
The purple and gold improved to 2-3 as they snapped a three-game losing skid, while the Lady Black Knights dropped to 2-4 with the defeat.
Ada senior Haley Wyss broke a 46-46 deadlock with a free throw, then scored a layup off her own miss after a crucial Teara Coulson offensive rebound to provide a three-point bulge with 1:38 remaining.
