ADA - The Ada tennis team lost a hard-fought rematch to Bath 3-1 Wednesday on a windy, overcast evening that ended a bit prematurely due to untimely drizzle late in the match.

The Bulldog net record fell to 6-7 with the defeat. Meanwhile, the visiting Wildcats improved to 7-4 with the hard-earned victory.  

"It was an interesting rematch with Lima Bath from exactly two weeks ago, with the three singles players for each team matching up as before," said Ada head coach Dexter Woods.
