DELPHOS – The visiting Ada High School girls soccer team defeated Delphos Jefferson 3-0 in a weather-delayed non-league match to stay unbeaten on Thursday, September 3. 

Sophomore Shay Smith scored two Bulldog goals to pace Ada to victory. Her first goal was assisted by Kenley Poling and gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead at intermission.

Ada junior Rose Baxter tallied a goal off a Smith assist to double the lead to 2-0. 

Smith then tacked on another insurance goal via a penalty kick to put the game out of reach.

Ada improved to 6-0-1 with the clean-sheet win against their former Northwest Conference foe. A storm moved the evening match start time back even further, forcing a late finish.

DJ fell to 2-3 after suffering the defeat.

The dominating Bulldogs out-shot the Wildcats, 29-3.

Ada keeper Emily Gibson made two saves in goal. 

“Emily had a great one v. one save late in the second half to hold the clean sheet,” said Bulldog head coach Doug Dewese.

Ada plays at North Central Ohio Soccer Association foe Van Buren (2-3-1, 0-1 NCOSA) in their key league lidlifter on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
