ADA - The Ada volleyball team played well and very hard, but lost in straight sets to visiting power Coldwater Thursday night.
The hard-fought 25-10, 26-24, 25-15 loss dropped the Lady Bulldog record to 2-2. Coldwater improved to 2-0 with the win.
"We played our best match this season," said Bulldog second-year head coach Kyleigh Tabor. "Our hustle and defense was great. Our top seven showed a lot of heart."
The atmosphere was energized by a large and loud Ada student throng, which inspired the Lady Bulldogs to hustle all over the court from the very start of play.
