ADA - The Ada volleyball team got back on the winning track with a convincing three-set sweep of visiting Perry Tuesday evening.
The 25-13, 25-13, 25-15 win sank the Commodores and upped the Lady Bulldog record to 3-2 this season. Perry dropped to 0-4 with the defeat.
"I think we played well and focused on our side of the net," said Ada head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "We eliminated the errors and kept our intensity up."
Ada jumped out an 8-3 lead in set one. Some Perry errors and a Courtney Sumner kill helped the Bulldogs build a lead of 14-8. Senior Megan Light then smacked a clean kill to extend the margin to 16-8.

ADA - Eight runners comprise the inexperienced and youthful Ada cross country roster this fall, with two busy runners playing a pair of sports this fall.
Fifth-year head coach Josh Klein has four boys and four girls out for the squad this season.
"We are trying to develop the team and some longevity," said Klein. All four girls are new to the cross country team. Unfortunately the Bulldogs are one runner short of the five needed to post a team score for boys and girls.
Ada lost four key runners from last season, but return three lettermen.
