WELLSBORO – After scoring just two points in the first quarter, Coudersport rallied for 36 second-half points to open the season with a 50-42 win over Wellsboro in a non-league game Monday night.
Hailey Keck scored 17 and added five steals for the Lady Falcons, while EmmaRae Easton (seven points, 10 rebounds) and Kiara Perkins (eight points, 11 rebounds) came close to double-doubles. Ally Easton chipped in with 11 points.
“We had a tough time,” Coudersport head coach Chris Fink. “We did not shoot the ball particularly well in the first half. Those girls kept fighting.”
Coudersport shot 8-for-15 from the free-throw line, while Wellsboro (1-2) shot just once. Elizabeth Poirier scored 21 for the home team.
“We were a bigger team,” Fink said, noting Wellsboro was a jump-shooting team. “Whether it was offensive rebounds or getting the ball inside. We got the ball inside more than they did.”
