RAWSON - The Ada girls soccer team trailed by only a goal at halftime, but ended up losing 7-0 at Cory-Rawson Wednesday evening.

Ada fell to 2-7 overall and 1-2 in North Central Ohio Soccer Association action with the defeat. C-R improved to 6-4 overall and 2-1 in NCOSA play with the win.

Lanie Kempf scored the first goal 12:05 into the fray on an assist from Zoe Chisholm. 

The Lady Hornets then poured on a six-goal barrage in the second half to put the game out of reach.
