FOSTORIA - The visiting Ada tennis team blanked Fostoria 5-0 Wednesday evening to earn their first win of the season.

The Bulldogs improved to 1-2 after the victory.

"It was good to get the first team win," said Ada head coach Dexter Woods. 

Ada senior Miranda Wills earned her initial win of the season at first singles in straight sets.

"The first set featured numerous long rallies," said Woods. "Second set was shorter and more efficient as Miranda hit numerous well-placed approach shots that forced opponent errors, or that were followed by winning volleys."
