The Ada High School volleyball team was swept in three sets by top-seeded New Bremen in the Div. IV district semifinals Tuesday night, October 24, at Wapakoneta.

The Bulldogs lost to the powerful Cardinals 25-14, 25-8, 25-5 to finish their season 13-11.

Top-seeded MAC tri-champion New Bremen improved to 20-4 with the sweep. 

The Cardinals advance to the district finals against league foe Marion Local (17-7) in Wapakoneta.

“We came out strong and really fought hard and battled in set one,” said Ada head coach Kyleigh Woodruff. “We struggled to side out in sets two and three, and they had too many runs against us.

“New Bremen is a great team with hard float-servers who kept us off balance,” she continued. “They were able to put the ball away offensively.”
