The Ada High School tennis team defeated visiting Upper Sandusky 3-2 Monday, April 9, on a warm, sunny evening at the park courts.

The Bulldogs improved their record to 4-4 with the victory in the regular season finale. 

Ada swept all three singles matches to register the win.

Ada senior Dexter Woods utilized a solid ground game and good serving to post a convincing 6-1, 6-3 win at first singles.

Junior Brendan Jameson triumphed in a three-setter at second singles.

Heady Ada junior Amelia Alexander also won handily 6-1, 6-2 at third singles by keeping the ball in play and rarely making errors.

The top-seeded Ohio Northern softball team won the Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament championship on Sunday, May 8, defeating No. 3 seed Mount Union 4-3 at the ONU softball field to cap an unbeaten run through the tournament.

This marks the second straight OAC Tournament title for the Polar Bears (24-9 overall) and their seventh in program history, and it earns them the league's automatic bid to the NCAA III Tournament.

ONU will find out its NCAA Tournament destination and first-round opponent on Monday.

Mount Union, which ends its season at 23-18-1 overall, eliminated No. 2 seed Muskingum earlier in the day with a 3-0 victory to advance to play ONU.
