The Ada girls soccer team kicked off its season with a decisive 5-2 win at Tiffin Columbian Saturday evening.

“I am glad our eight seniors got to start the season with a win,” said second-year Lady Bulldog head coach Doug Dewese. “It was an excellent effort for the team to open the season with.”

Ada led 3-1 at the half and dominated throughout. 

Senior Ella Marshall tallied three goals, and she also dished out one assist.

Senior Olivia Burkhart netted two goals, and junior Lexi Poling passed out a pair of assists.

“Ella had a hat trick, Olivia added in two goals and Lexi with the assists showed a well-rounded attack,” noted Dewese.

2023 Bulldog football features potent one-two backfield punch

By Cort Reynolds

Year three of the Toby Smith coaching rebuild at Ada sees the Bulldog football program looking to make another upward stride to .500 and a possible playoff spot in 2023.

One of the league’s best offensive tandems will lead that climb, provided they stay healthy.

Elusive junior quarterback Levi Green led the Northwest Conference in rushing in 2022 with 1,025 yards, and powerful senior running back Jalee Bolden was a second team all-league pick before a knee injury ended his season prematurely.

"A .500 season and a playoff berth are reasonable goals,” veteran mentor Smith agreed, "If we don’t turn the ball over, we will be in games.”

Roster numbers are at 34 this season, with 11 lettermen back from the 3-7 Ada squad that went 2-5 in Northwest Conference play last fall. Seven full or part-time starters return on both sides of the ball.
