ADA - The Ada volleyball team lost its home opener to visiting traditional power St. Henry in straight sets on a steamy Tuesday night.

The bigger Redskins possessed multiple high-level hitters, and Ada was unable to contend with their great size and balanced attack.
"We played well the second and thrd sets," said Bulldog second-year head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "Serve receive really killed us in the first set, then we cleaned it up. Everything starts with the pass."
