AUSTIN — Smethport coach Chad Goodman said his team was “flat outplayed” by Austin in their North Tier League matchup Tuesday night.

His Lady Hubbers committed 34 turnovers and went just 1-for-13 from the free-throw line. And though they had a chance to still come away with the win in the game’s waning seconds, it was the Lady Panthers who earned a 23-22 victory over Smethport — their first NTL win since the 2014 season.

Austin’s 23 points were spread out amongst seven players, with Kylie Welsh and Kendra Valenti each tallying five for the Lady Panthers (2-9, 1-5).

Valenti made a layup and the ensuing foul shot to complete the old-fashioned three-point play to give Austin a 23-22 lead with two minutes left. That would be all the scoring for either team.

“We just weren’t able to execute on offense,” Smethport coach Chad Goodman said. “All the credit in the world to Austin; they played a great game tonight and made us force a lot on offense.”

The two wins on the season for the Austin girls are also the most its had since a 6-15 record during the 2013-14 season.

For Smethport (5-5, 4-3) it was the third game this season its had a game decided by one point. The Lady Hubbers were 2-0 in those games coming in. Danielle Nelson had a team-high seven points and delivered the game’s lone 3-pointer.

Coudersport 53, Cameron County 19

EMPORIUM — Mikayla Gunn, Rosalyn Page and Sarah Chambers were all in double figures for Coudersport as the Lady Falcons rolled to their sixth consecutive victory.

Gunn led all scorers with 16 points, which included a game-high three 3-pointers. Page added 14 points and Chambers chipped in 10 for the Lady Falcons (7-1, 6-0). After leading by just two after the first quarter, Coudy outscored Cameron Co. 18-2 in the second frame to pull away.

Kaelee Bresslin had 13 points for the Lady Red Raiders (3-6, 2-4), who were playing without leading scorer Hailey Hilfiger for the second consecutive game.

“I’m playing without 13 points and 12 rebounds a game,” he noted. “But when that happens other girls have to find a way to step up. And we’re still finding a way to do that.”

Kane 34, Johnsonburg 18

JOHNSONBURG — Down 14-7 after the first quarter, the Lady Wolves went on a remarkable 27-4 run over the game’s final 24 minutes to snatch a would-be first victory from Jburg.

Sarri Swanson and Emily Bucheit had 13 and 12 points, respectively, for Kane (6-4, 2-1), which played stellar defense after the opening eight minutes.

The Lady Wolves allowed just one made field goal over the last three quarters after giving up seven in the first. In fact, the only point the Ramettes scored in the second or third quarters was on a made field goal from Julia Jones in the second period.

“We overcame a slow start on both ends of the floor to earn the win,” Kane coach Brandon Troutman noted.

Kaci Stelene had seven points for Johnsonburg (0-9, 0-2).
