LIMA - The visiting Ada tennis team soundly defeated Lima Senior 4-1 indoors at the Westwood Tennis and Fitness Club Wednesday evening.
Unseasonable snow and cold forced the match to be moved from Lima Senior to Westwood.
The purple and gold netters improved to 4-5 with the convincing win over the Div. I Spartans.
All four Bulldog victories came in straight sets. Ada won 48 games to just 13 by LS in those four match wins.
Bulldog senior Miranda Wills improved to 5-4 this season at first singles with a straight-sets win over Spartan sophomore Keegan Halliday.
