Ada's latest news

GAMBIER — The Ohio Northern volleyball team, ranked 15 nationally, used a balanced offensive attack to sweep Kenyon 25-18, 25-16, 25-20 on Wednesday night at Tomisch Arena.

 

The Polar Bears improve to 10-3 on the season, while the Ladies fall to 9-3.

Junior Chelsea Huppert (Bremen, Ind.) had a team-high 12 kills, while junior Sydney Bapst(Grove City) and freshman Madi Ellis (Delphos/St. John's) had nine kills each to lead ONU.

An Ada Icon photographer, eating a picnic supper at Railroad Depot Park, noticed how the sun beautifully backlit an ornamental grass.  He enlisted the help of a little girl nearby, who was with a friend, to get a good photo of the tall plant. But, the smile of the little girl stole the show. She is Savannah Scott, 5, of Alger. (Monty Siekerman photo)

COLDWATER - The Ada girls soccer team was shut out 4-0 at Coldwater in a makeup match Tuesday evening.

The Lady Bulldogs fell to 3-5 with the defeat.

Coldwater scored all four of its goals in the first half.

"The first 15 minutes were evenly matched," said Ada head coach Doug Poling.

Coldwater then broke the scoreless tie to net the first goal by getting past the Bulldog defense for a breakaway shot.

The Lady Cavaliers then tallied three more goals before intermission.
