The visiting Bluffton High School girls soccer team defeated league rival Ada 9-0 in a Northwest Conference match on a cool Monday, September 26, under the lights at War Memorial Park Stadium.

The Bulldog girls fell to 4-6 overall and 0-4 in NWC action following their sixth straight defeat.

The win upped the Pirate record to 10-2 overall and 5-0 in NWC play, keeping them in first place ahead of Columbus Grove (3-0 NWC).

"This was a Bluffton team with a bunchof seniors who have played together a long time, so a rough night was to be expected," said Ada head coach Doug Dewese.

The Ada Schools will have a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, September 27 for teacher in-service.

Serving an ace
The volleyball program at Ohio Northern University is legendary, with a tradition of achievement that few Division III schools can match.

In the program’s 63-year history, the team record stands at 1,383 wins and just 457 losses. Since the Ohio Athletic Conference began sponsoring volleyball in 1984, ONU has dominated with 27 OAC Regular Season Championships and 22 OAC Tournament Championships. And, in the 41-year history of the NCAA Division III Tournament, ONU Volleyball has made 33 tournament appearances, which ranks second among all DIII institutions.

Behind these incredible statistics are stories of female coaches and players whose grit enabled ONU Volleyball to evolve from an insignificant intramural program into a powerhouse in Division III athletics.

As ONU commemorates the 50th anniversary of the passage of the groundbreaking Title IX legislation, the coaching icons of ONU Volleyball are speaking out about breaking barriers and building success in women’s athletics.
