ADA - The Ada girls soccer team kicked off its Northwest Conference slate with a tough 2-0 loss to visiting Spencerville Monday evening at the park.

Ada fell to 2-2 and 0-1 in the NWC with the defeat. The Lady Bearcats improved to 2-0-1 and 1-0-1 in the league with the win.

Spencerville scored early in the game to take a 1-0 lead. Bearcat Shaffer dribbled through the Bulldog defense to net the first goal.

"After that, we were able to keep the ball on our offensive end but only managed to get four shots on goal," said Ada head coach Doug Poling. "The second half started out the same with us controlling much of the possession."
