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."

Can you believe October begins on Thursday?

Ada activities remain somewhat limited due to covid-19 restrictions on meetings and large groups events. 

However, the Icon found several things on the calendar worth noting. Much of it is virtual.

Events include the Ohio Northern University virtual weeklong homecoming celebration Oct. 11 to 17. Two programs at The Freed Center are available to watch as a streamed event.

Several additional October events are also planned. Viewers will find these on the printer-friendly Ada Hometown Happenings October 2020 calendar attached to this story.

The Icon Hometown Happenings calendar is compiled by Darlene Bowers.
