LIMA - The Ada boys tennis team won its closest match of the spring so far 3-2 over Elida indoors at Westwood Monday night.
The match was originally scheduled for the Ada park but moved due to the unseasonably cold, windy and snowy conditions.
The Bulldogs improved to 6-0 with the victory.
"Elida is a very well-coached team," said Ada coach Christy Beaschler. "We had great teamwork and outstanding wins by our singles players. The double matches were close, but Elida has a lot of depth and some very strong doubles teams."
