KALIDA - The visiting Ada boys basketball team lost 47-40 at Kalida Friday night in a non-league defensive battle.

The Wildcats improved to 1-1 with the victory, while the Bulldogs fell to 1-2 with the defeat.

"We fought like heck; I am proud of our effort," said Ada fourth-year head coach Dre White. "Little things made the difference. We had some untimely errors and missed free throws." 

Kalida led 15-10 after the first period, yet the Bulldogs inched within 23-21 by intermission. The Wildcats stretched the lead to 36-28 after three quarters, then hung on to post the win.

The Ohio Northern women's soccer coaching staff was honored by the United Soccer Coaches Association as the Great Lakes Region Staff of the Year.

The award is given to one coaching staff in each of the country's eight regions. 

This marks the second time Northern head coach Mark Batman has won the regional staff of the year honor. The coaches were also recognized following the 2017 season.

The Polar Bears went 18-3-3 in 2019, advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. ONU won both the Ohio Athletic Conference regular-season crown — with a perfect 9-0-0 mark — and the tournament title.
