DE PERE – The Marshfield girls basketball team dropped its first game of the season, falling to De Pere 68-56 in a nonconference game Saturday afternoon at De Pere High School.
The Tigers trailed 33-25 at halftime before outscoring De Pere 20-11 in the third quarter to take a one-point lead.

Caitlin Michaelis had 20 points and seven assists, Ellie Kummer added 15 points, and Makayla Scheuer had 13 points and five rebounds for Marshfield (4-1).
