MARSHFIELD — Neillsville put together a relentless defensive performance, holding Marshfield Columbus Catholic to just five field goals and rolling to a 35-16 victory in a Cloverbelt Conference East Division girls basketball game Tuesday night at Columbus Catholic High School.

Neillsville held the Dons without a made basket in the first quarter and led 14-7 after a low-scoring first half.

Neillsville (15-4, 11-3 Cloverbelt East) pushed the lead to double-digits in the fourth quarter, finishing the game on a 15-4 run.

The Dons (10-9, 7-7 Cloverbelt East) ended up just 5 of 30 from the field and 4 of 11 at the free throw line in the loss.
