In its season opener, the Ada High School girls varsity soccer team enjoyed a big second half and beat visiting Tiffin Columbian 3-2 on August 17.
Ada trailed 1-0 at halftime after an own goal, but netted two goals in the first seven minutes of the second half to take the lead.
The Bulldog girls extended the lead to 3-1 on an impressive corner kick goal by Alex Gibson with 7:49 remaining.
The Tornadoes answered with a goal just 13 seconds later to cut the deficit to 3-2. But the Ada defense staved Tiffin off the rest of the way to hang on for the victory.
The Ada High School varsity boys soccer team opened its fall 2024 campaign with an 11-0 shellacking of visiting Tiffin Columbian on Saturday, August 17 at War Memorial Stadium.

“Overall, I am very happy with the result,” said coach Acheson. “I loved the team spirit and the unity. We moved the ball around and were very unselfish.
