The Packer girls basketball team just didn’t have it in a 55-30 loss to Rochester Century in Ove Berven Gym Friday night.

Austin (1-2 overall, 0-1 Big Nine) fell behind 9-2 but pulled to within 9-6 on a baseline jumper by Sophia Hebrink with 10:40 left in the first half. The Panthers responded by scoring the next eight points as they held the Packers scoreless over a five-minute stretch.

Austin bounced back by scoring four straight to get within 18-10 on a lay-up by Robin Arjes with 4:51 left. Century (3-1 overall, 2-0 Big Nine) then scored the next 10 points and opened the second half with a 10-0 run to take a 38-13 lead with 14 minutes left in the game.

Most of the Panthers’ points came on breakaways and when they ran their half-court offense, Mallory Cochran, who scored 22 points, was knocking down jump shots.

“They had too many breakaway lay-ups and we’ve got to have more hustle and desire to get back on defense,” Austin head coach Gary Peterson said. “We had a lot of rookie mistakes and we’ve got to have somebody step up and put it together.”
