ADA – The Ada High School boys soccer team lost a 2-1 heartbreaker to visiting Riverdale in Div. V Northwest sectional final play at War Memorial Stadium on a warm and sunny Saturday, October 18.
Ada finishes its season with a fine 11-5-2 record after the loss. Riverdale improved to 6-13 after the upset victory.
“It’s a tough way to end what has been a positive season,” said Ada second-year head coach Aaron Acheson.
The Bulldogs had whipped visiting Riverdale 4-1 back on September 10 to help avenge a 2024 district semifinal loss to the Falcons. But Riverdale somehow managed to turn the tables at tournament time.
