Junior Abbie Rademacher’s golden goal ten minutes into the first period of extra time gave the girls soccer team a district title and will set up a sectional game against Timberland on Tuesday at 7:15 p.m.

The midfielder ended the game with 5:40 left in the first overtime period after a scramble in front of the Howell net off of senior Caitlyn Eddy’s free kick.
