ADA - Host Ada pulled away in the third quarter to defeat rival Allen East 59-44 in a Northwest Conference girls basketball contest Thursday night.

The Lady Bulldogs improved to 7-9 and 1-5 in the NWC with their initial conference win. Meanwhile, the youthful Lady Mustangs fell to 3-15 and 0-6 in the NWC with the defeat.

"We had four in double figures and all the girls gave us good minutes," said Ada head coach Bill Taflinger. "I am happy with their effort. It was nice for us to get that first league win."

Ada led 23-18 at halftime, but was never seriously threatened after ending the third period on a 10-2 run that led to a 13-point bulge.
