KENTON - Hardin County rival Kenton blanked visiting Ada 8-0 in girls soccer play Wednesday night.

Ada fell to 0-2 after the defeat, while Kenton improved to 2-0 with the win.

The Lady Wildcats scored early and pushed the ball up the field the entire game, building a 5-0 lead by halftime. They added three more scores after intermission.

"Kenton is a strong team," said Ada head coach Doug Poling. "We played defensively for the majority of the match. We managed only four shots on goal."

Ada senior keeper Kenzie Long made 18 saves in goal, while classmate Sidney Gossard stopped 11 shots.

"I was happy that we started stronger than at Indian Lake, but we still have room for improvement," Poling noted.
