ADA - The deep Ada varsity volleyball team enters its third season under head coach Kyleigh Tabor looking to return to the upper echelon of the Northwest Conference this fall.

Four letter winners and three starters return from last year's squad that finished 10-13 overall and lost to Arlington in the sectionals. The Lady Bulldogs also finished 2-6 in the nine-team league standings.

Versatility will be a key for the Lady Bulldogs, who are not very tall but boast a lot of good, competitive athletes who are positionally interchangeable.
