Williamson had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Austin Panthers by a score of 37-35. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Warriors of the 27-25 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in December of 2019.
Williamson's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Kenna Thomas, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Olivia Meisner, who almost dropped a double-double on nine points and ten rebounds. Maddy Jones was another key player, earning seven points in addition to five rebounds and four steals.
Even though they lost, Williamson smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 17 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive rebounds in four consecutive games dating back to last season.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Williamson and Galeton will face off at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. As for Austin, they will hit the road for the first time this season to face off against Oswayo Valley at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.
