RIB LAKE – Izzy Holz and Sophie Wilczek each scored 16 points as the Marshfield Columbus Catholic girls basketball team won its season-opener 68-66 over Rib Lake on Tuesday at Rib Lake High School.
The Dons ran out to a 39-34 lead by halftime and were able to hold off every Rib Lake run the rest of the way to secure the victory.
A 3-pointer from Wilczek gave the Dons a 64-60 lead with 2:22 to go.
Columbus was able to make just enough free throws, going 4-for-8 at the line during the final two minutes, to pull out the victory.
Hailey Hargraves, Abby Wojcik and Kate Casperson each kicked in eight points for the Dons.
Columbus Catholic is back in action Nov. 29 against Wisconsin Rapids Assumption at the Cranberry Classic at Assumption High School.
