ADA – The 2025-2026 Bulldog boys soccer team played an alumni squad to a 4-4 tie on a wet field in their annual bout Saturday, July 26, in War Memorial Stadium.

“It was a good game,” said Bulldog head coach Aaron Acheson.

It rained very hard an hour before game time, making the synthetic turf slippery.

Logan Jolliff, who is headed to play for Ohio Northern this fall, scored two goals. Fellow 2025 grad Nathan Williams netted one goal, and Ryan Ulrey added the other alumni goal.
