ADA - After missing last season due to the coronavirus pandemic, experienced local tennis coach and player Dexter Woods takes over the Ada boys tennis program this spring with some returning and new talent on the 2021 roster.
The sixth season of Bulldog varsity spring tennis hopes to continue the success of the program-record 14-win season of 2019. Last spring's campaign promised to be a successful one before being washed out.
"We've got a mix of youth and experience, but most of the players are inexperienced," said Woods.
Senior Stella DeWitt (Weston/ Cardinal Stritch) and junior Kayla Silva (Westerville/ South) were named All-Great Lakes Region in Women's Indoor Track & Field for 2021 by the USTFCCCA.
To earn All-Region honors, an athlete must be one of the top-5 individuals in their respective region on the final TFRRS Descending Order List. In addition, each member of a region's top-3 relay team was also selected for distinction.
Silva was named All-Region in both the 60 and 200-meter dash events after earning All-Ohio Athletic Conference honors in each.
She is the school record holder in the 60 and is now a two-time All-Region honoree in the event.
Lacrosse
Senior Cameron Marous (Brecksville/Brecksville-Broadview Heights) scored a goal and added three assists to lead the Ohio Northern men's lacrosse team in a 10-7 Ohio Athletic Conference loss to Baldwin Wallace on Saturday afternoon at Dial-Roberson Stadium.
The Polar Bears fall to 3-2 overall and are 2-1 in OAC action, while the Yellow Jackets improve to 5-0, 3-0.
Northern scored four consecutive goals to grab a 4-2 lead with 13:07 left in the first half.
