DEFIANCE - With a season-low score and several personal-bests, the Ada golf team finished a strong third in a three-team Northwest Conference match Monday at Defiance.

Delphos Jefferson won with 170 strokes, followed by host Paulding (176) and Ada (186).

The 186 total was a season-best team score for the Bulldog linksters.

Senior Alex Morgan (43), junior Brevin Sizemore (43), sophomore Dexter Woods (50) and sophomore Kamron Wilkerson (50) all posted personal-best, nine-hole scores as the four Ada scorers.

Bulldog senior Ethan Hull shot a 56, and junior Jacob Morgan added a score of 69.

Logan Gallmeier of DJ was match medalist with a score of 38, followed closely in second by teammate Braxton Scalf (39).

The Ada record is now 4-15 overall and 2-9 in NWC play this season.

The Bulldogs are slated to host Leipsic and Lima Senior in a non-league tri-match September 11.
