Ada netters stay unbeaten with close win

By Cort Reynolds
LIMA - The Ada boys tennis team won its closest match of the spring so far 3-2 over Elida indoors at Westwood Monday night.

The match was originally scheduled for the Ada park but moved due to the unseasonably cold, windy and snowy conditions.

The Bulldogs improved to 6-0 with the victory.

"Elida is a very well-coached team," said Ada coach Christy Beaschler. "We had great teamwork and outstanding wins by our singles players. The double matches were close, but Elida has a lot of depth and some very strong doubles teams."

Ada's three singles aces all won handily in straight sets as all extended their perfect individual marks to 6-0 this season.

Senior standout Zach Beaschler won easily 6-0, 6-1 at first singles. Quick junior Cade Mullins cruised 6-0, 6-2 at second singles and  freshman Miranda Wills rolled at third singles 6-1, 6-2.

Match results:

1st singles: Zach Beaschler (A) defeats Tyler Christoff 6-0, 6-1

2nd: Cade Mullins (A) defeats Sebastian Kunkelman 6-0, 6-2

3rd: Miranda Wills (A) defeats Dylan Buetner 6-1, 6-2

1st doubles: Jared Ramirez/Nathan Smith defeats Isaac Spar/ Nathan Hurtig (A) 7-5, 6-1

2nd: Jacob Ramirez/Riley Creps defeats Acel Gamble/Adam Bailey

(A) 6-3, 6-2
