ADA - The host Ada volleyball team lost in straight sets to Lima Central Catholic in a non-league match Tuesday night.
The 25-15, 25-10, 25-17 defeat dropped the Lady Bulldog overall record to 7-8. LCC won behind strong serving and powerful hitting to improve to 8-7.
"Our serve receive wasn't as strong as in the past," said Bulldog third-year head coach Kyleigh Tabor said. "But LCC had a lot of good servers. They kept us off balance with their serves.
"Our blocking was off, we had zero blocks in the match," Tabor added. "They had some good outside hitters who put the ball away, and they killed us on tips."
