ST. MARYS__The visiting Ada High School boys soccer team lost a 1-0 battle of unbeatens to St. Marys on Thursday, Aug. 27.

Ada boys fell to 3-1 after the close defeat. St. Marys improved to 4-0 with the hard-fought win.

“We lost but I thought we played well,” said Ada head coach Aaron Acheson. “We had a defensive breakdown early in the first half that they took advantage of. Their player got a shot off from around the six-yard line, high to the near post, and found the back of the net.”

Neither team was able to score after intermission, as well as for most of the first half.
