WYALUSING — Senior Addison Westbrook and sophomore Ryleigh Judson scored seven points apiece, and freshman Maci Wheeler canned a 3-pointer to fuel a fourth-quarter run that opened up a close game in Waverly's season-opening, 51-38, win over Wyalusing here Saturday night in non-league girls basketball action.

Judson scored four points, and Westbrook added a 3-pointer to help the the Wolverines to a 9-8 lead after the first eight minutes.

Wheeler, freshman Kendall Rockwell, and Judson scored Waverly's only buckets of the third quarter, but the Wolverine defense yielded only a Chloe Bennett 3-pointers, and used the 6-3 spurt to take a 28-23 lead into the final eight minutes.
