The Ohio Northern women's basketball team fell five spots to No. 15 in the ninth weekly edition of the D3Hoops.com poll.
Northern (17-2 overall, 11-1 OAC) posted a 1-1 record in the conference last week after defeating Wilmington at the ONU Sports Center 71-48 and falling on the road at Capital 84-76.
Sophomore Nolan Huey (Fort Collins, Colo./Fossil Ridge) earned his third career OAC Men's Swimmer of the Week honor for his efforts during the week of Jan. 23-29.
The sophomore earned the honor for the second time this season after leading Northern during the week in the pool.
In ONU's tri-meet at No. 3-ranked Kenyon with Ohio Wesleyan and the Lords, Huey was third in the 200 free in 1:45.76 and the 100 back in :53.50.
NORTH ROBINSON - The Ada girls and boys swim teams both posted strong showings at the second annual North Central Ohio Swim League championship meet hosted by Colonel Crawford at the William Ferrell Natatorium this past Saturday.
The Lady Bulldog swimmers came in third out of eight teams, while the Ada boys finished a solid fourth.
Ada senior Zach Beaschler led the Bulldog boys with a pair of first-place finishes. Beaschler took first in both the 100 and 200-yard freestyle races.
Ada sophomore Klava Katayama came in second in the 100 butterfly and finished third in the 100 free to pace the Lady Bulldogs.
KENTON - Host Kenton blew open a close game with a 19-3 second period and rolled to a 73-41 win over Hardin County rival Ada in non-conference boys basketball play Saturday night.
The purple and gold drop to 3-14 with the defeat, while the Wildcats improve to 9-5 after the victory.
Ada trailed by only two late in a high-scoring first period. But then Kenton reeled off 16 unanswered points to take control, and the hosts were never threatened again.
