From the ONU website – When Ohio Northern University launched its esports program last fall, no one was quite sure what to expect.
After all, it is rare for a start-up of any variety to excel right out of the gate. Compound the growing pains of creating something new with the rigors of competition, and it’s easy to see why even professional expansion teams struggle.
Students at Ohio Northern University Child Development Center recently played a learning activity called music fence. According to June Zimmerman, director, it explores musical concepts and expressions.
Ohio Northern senior running back Christiaan Williams (Sidney/Anna) was named Second Team Preseason All-America for 2020 by D3football.com.
Williams is ONU's all-time leading rusher with 4,193 rushing yards in his 29-game career.
He was named a 2nd Team All-American by the Associated Press and the American Football Coaches Association as a sophomore in 2017, was an Honorable Mention All-American by D3football.com in 2019 and is a 3-time 1st Team All-OAC honoree.
He became the first ONU freshman to rush for 1,000 yards, gaining 1,208 in nine games in 2016.

ADA - The Ada volleyball team won its second home match in three nights with a decisive sweep over visiting Arlington Thursday evening.
The 25-18, 25-20, 25-18 non-league victory upped the Lady Bulldog record to 4-2 this season. The Lady Red Devils fell to 0-5 with the defeat.
Ada trailed only once the entire match and was in control throughout. The few times Arlington pulled close, the Bulldogs managed to answer with a spurt of their own to rebuild the lead.
"I felt like we played solid," said Ada head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "We played with confidence."
