Marion couldn’t keep up with Rosholt in a CWC crossover matchup Tuesday in Rosholt.

“We were short numbers, only having nine girls to start, and after foul trouble had to send out some girls with little experience,” said Marion coach Brad Fischer. “Rosholt took advantage and double-teamed the ball hard, which led to too many easy points for Rosholt.”
