NA falls to Woodland Hills in section matchup
North Allegheny hosted Woodland Hills in the second game of a girl/boy doubleheader at UPMC Court on Tuesday night. Things were close in the first quarter and even in the second half but a big run in the second quarter did the Tigers in as they fell 50-37.
It was a very competitive first quarter with neither team able to take more than a one-possession lead until Woodland Hills created some separation near the end of the period and led 15-10 after a quarter of play. The second quarter was tight early, but with the Wolverines leading 17-15, they went on an 11-0 run that lasted until the end of the second, and the Tigers trailed 28-15 at halftime.
