The Bulldogs (0-2 NWC) then host backyard league rival Allen East (6-3, 1-0 NWC) Tuesday, September 22 on Senior Night. 

"It's going to be a tough match," said Ada third-year head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "We need to take care of the ball on our side and eliminate errors. 

"Last year we came up short in a hard-fought, back and forth five-set match," she added.

The Mustangs rallied from a 2-1 deficit to edge the Bulldogs 17-15 in the decisive fifth set of the intense battle at Harrod.
