MARSHFIELD – The Marshfield girls basketball team fell one point short of its second-straight win, losing 64-63 to Eau Claire North in a nonconference game Thursday night at Marshfield High School.
The game was tied 34-34 at halftime and remained tight before North (4-5) was able to pull out the victory.
Marshfield (2-5) had an efficient offensive game, shooting 48 percent (21 of 43) from the field, making 4 of 5 3-pointers, and knocking down 17 of 22 free throws, but missed a possible game-winner in the final seconds.
