CHARLESTON Charleston Catholic rallied from a late eight-point deficit, closing the game on a 14-1 run and defeat Logan 51-46 Thursday night at the Charleston Catholic Athletic Complex in a battle of Class AA ranked schools.

Charleston Catholic never led in the game until Molly Messer hit a 3-pointer with 3:00 to play, giving the Lady Irish a 46-45 lead.
Ali Wilcox was one of three Charleston Catholic (9-1) in double figures leading the Lady Irish with 13 points. Ilyauna Evans had 12 and Aurelia Kirby 11.
