WYALUSING — Athens struggled on the offensive end of the floor for the majority of the game and Wyalusing took advantage in a 41-26 win here Thursday afternoon in NTL Large School Division girls basketball action.

The Wildcats finally found its footing in the third quarter with sophomore Alissa Vough scoring five points and sophomore Allie Kemp adding a 3-pointer, but Wyalusing matched Athens in the stanza and led 33-22 heading into the fourth quarter.

Wyalusing held Athens to one field goal in the fourth quarter, and outscored the Wildcats, 8-4, to seal the win.
