SPENCERVILLE–The visiting Ada High School softball team convincingly defeated Spencerville 10-2 in their Northwest Conference season closer on Thursday evening, May 4, accomplishing their best league finish ever.

The win, coupled with a 7-4 Crestview victory at Lincolnview, gave Ada sole possession of second place in the final conference standings.

Ada finished one game behind champion Crestview (8-0) and a game ahead of third-place Lincolnview (6-2) in the nine-team league standings.

After tying for second place twice before, coming in second alone marked the best NWC finish in program history for the Bulldog girls. A Knight loss to the Lancers would have given Ada a three-way tie for first in the league.
