ADA - The Ada girls soccer team blew out visiting Northwest Conference foe Crestview 10-0 Tuesday evening.
Ada improved to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in NWC play with the lopsided win.
The Bulldogs raced to a 7-0 lead at halftime and rolled to the shutout win. Katie Butterfield scored three goals and Bella East added two to pace the attack.
Butterfield scored the first goal on a breakaway. East made it 2-0 moments later with a 30-yard blast into the net.
