WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Marissa Immerfall scored with 2.6 seconds remaining to lift the Marshfield Columbus Catholic girls basketball team to a 47-45 win over Wisconsin Rapids Assumption in a semifinal of the Cranberry Classic on Friday afternoon at Assumption High School.
Assumption (0-2) led by as many as eight in the first half and took a 24-19 lead into halftime.
Columbus climbed back to take the lead before Assumption ripped off a big run and led by seven with 10 minutes to go.
The Dons again mounted a comeback, taking a 45-43 lead. Assumption tied with a basket with just less than one minute left, before Immerfall hit the game-winner. She was fouled on the play, but missed the free throw. Columbus managed to gather the rebound and ran the clock out.
Addison Baierl had 15 points and Immerfall finished with 14 for Columbus (2-1).
Maddie Bohn led Assumption with 13 points.
