MARSHFIELD – Hailey Voelker scored 21 of her game-high 27 points in the second half to lead Colby to a 55-49 win over Marshfield Columbus Catholic in a Cloverbelt Conference East Division girls basketball game Tuesday night at Columbus Catholic High School.
The Dons led 22-21 at halftime as Addison Baierl had 10 points and Emmalee Jicinsky five in the first half.
Columbus Catholic (1-1, 0-1 Cloverbelt East) stayed in the game by making 12 of 19 shots from the free throws, but couldn’t overcome Voelker’s big second half. The Dons made just six baskets from the field over the final 18 minutes, four from Baierl, who finished with 23 points.
Colby (2-1, 2-0 Cloverbelt East) is off until Dec. 5 when it hosts Owen-Withee.
