Lady Bulldogs come close in sectional thriller

By Cort Reynolds

The Ada High School girls basketball team seriously threatened favored Parkway before they succumbed to a late run and fell 45-39 in a Div. IV sectional first round barnburner Wednesday evening, February 16, at Shawnee.

The Lady Bulldogs rallied from a slow start and won the middle quarters, 25-14. Ada led by as many as six points in the third period, and held a 34-29 margin late in the quarter.

But Parkway ended the game on a 16-5 run to pull off the hard-fought victory.

The Lady Bulldogs finished their season 8-15 with the difficult defeat. They put together an 8-7 record in non-conference play.

Women’s lacrosse 2022 preview

Coming off a 2021 season in which it earned its first Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament bid in program history, the Ohio Northern women's lacrosse team returns 18 letter winners as it looks to build on that achievement in 2022 under seventh-year head coach Beth Hemminger.

"We've seen a lot of growth over the last few years," Hemminger said. "We've had a lot of youth, so last season was a good opportunity for our players to get a lot of experience. Now our younger girls are elevating their games and stepping up into leadership roles."

Emily Boerger joins Hemminger this season as an assistant coach after serving in the same position for the Swiss National Team in 2021.
