Makaya Shadle led the Lady Tigers with 13 points, 11 of which came at the free throw line.
“We played much better in the second half,” Port Allegany coach Jason Luther said. “We made adjustments defensively and we did what it took to win. We’re very proud of our team; playing back-to-back over the holidays, that’s not an easy thing to do.
