The visiting Ada High School girls soccer team rallied late but fell just short 5-4 to local rival Allen East in the Northwest Conference opener Monday night at Goodwin Field in Harrod.
Ada falls to 3-1 overall and 0-1 in the NWC with their first defeat.
AE improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the NWC with the win.
“It was a very tough loss with a lot of bright spots,“ said Ada second-year head coach Doug Dewese. “We played the hardest yet this season and came up just a little short.
“I cannot be more proud of the effort put in by our ladies,” he emphasized. “Allen East has multiple scoring threats, so them putting five goals on us doesn’t surprise me.
“I am just very happy that we kept pushing and playing until the clock read zeroes, and kept pace with them as far as scoring,” he continued.
