ADA - The perimeter-sniping Arcadia girls basketball club rode two big runs to defeat host Ada 68-34 Tuesday night in a non-conference makeup battle.

The purple and gold fell to 7-14 after their fifth loss in a row, while the Lady Redskins improved to 14-7 with the victory.

Ada starting senior guards Alyssa Vore and Haley Wyss played their final home contests as Bulldogs. Wyss scored a game-high 18 points despite a sore right knee that limited her playing time.

Arcadia shot well from the perimeter to spearhead runs of 16-3 and 17-0 in each half and win convincingly.

Ka Yee Christina Lee, Ph.D., professor of chemistry and senior associate vice president for research at the University of Chicago, will discuss “The science of breathing: Wrinkle-to-fold transitions in long surfactants and other elastic sheet” at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 23 in the Dicke Hall Forum at Ohio Northern.

Her talk is part of the Kritzler Lectureship in Chemistry at ONU and is sponsored by the Donald J. Bettinger Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The talk is free and open to the public.
