ONU volleyball wins again

BEXLEY — The No. 17-ranked Ohio Northern volleyball team used a balanced offensive scoring attack on Friday evening as it swept Capital 3-0 at Performance Arena.

The Polar Bears improve to 17-4 overall and 2-1 in the Ohio Athletic Conference, while the Crusaders fall to 9-13, 1-3.

Williams named Player of the Week

Ohio Northern sophomore Christiaan Williams (Sidney/Anna) has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference Football Offensive Player of the Week.

In Northern's 51-21 victory over Capital on Saturday evening at Dial-Roberson Stadium, Williams broke a 17-year old single game rushing record, compiling 407 yards on 29 rushes.

The sophomore also added three touchdowns in the victory as he broke Ohio Northern Hall of Famer Jamal Robertson's previous single game record of 307 rushing yards.

Williams also caught one pass for five yards, breaking Robertson's single game all-purpose yards record of 406 yards also set in 2000.

Ada to host Paulding Fri

By Cort Reynolds

ADA - The Ada football team will try to bounce back from a disappointing loss at Crestview when they host last-place Paulding in a Northwest Conference must-win contest Friday.

 

Last weekend's 49-21 defeat at Crestview all but eliminated the Bulldogs from realistic NWC title contention. Ada trails league leader Spencerville (4-0) by two full games with three left, and is also a game behind Delphos Jefferson and Crestview (each 3-1).

 

"We didn't play very well," said Ada fifth-year head coach Bob Olwin (31-21) of the loss at Crestview. "Their kids made some plays, we didn't play fast and we looked tentative tackling."
