The Packers (1-1 overall) led early on, but the KoMets built up a 29-16 lead by halftime.
KM’s Kristin Scott, who has committed to play basketball at Iowa State University, had 23 points.
“It was super tough. They have a lot of experience and [Scott is] a great player,” Austin head coach Anna Meyer said. “I thought our girls gave a pretty good effort to start the game and then it slowly went downhill.”
