ADA - The Ada boys soccer team returns several talented players to go with a large group of promising youngsters in forming a dangerous 2020 roster this fall.

With its new and returning talent, the Bulldogs are expected to improve on last season's .500 record. The roster boasts just three seniors and two juniors, so 18 of the 23 players on the team are underclassmen. 

Nine lettermen and several starters return from the squad that finished 8-8-1 overall and 3-2-0 the six-team Northwest Conference, good for third place.
