After allowing a last second goal in regulation, the Madera South Stallions girls soccer team got a last minute goal in overtime for a 2-1 victory over the Yosemite Badgers in the Div. III Central Section first-round playoff game. 

The eight-seeded Stallions got an early goal, but had to overcome a crazy goal from ninth-seeded Yosemite to get the victory. They played top seed Central Valley Christian in Visalia on Thursday in the quarterfinals. 

However, the Badgers seemed to have the momentum after scoring a late goal in regulation, but the Stallions rebounded in overtime.
