Daily Chronicle sports roundup for Wednesday, May 17, 2023

First it was a scoreless regulation. Then a scoreless first overtime, then a second one. All this for a chance to move on to the Class 1A Hinckley Big-Rock sectional final.

Once it got to the penalty kick portion, Indian Creek and Molly Feitlich did the job. Feitlich came up with a huge save during the PK session, and Paige Fetlich, Emma Turner and Emma Wilson made their kicks as the Timberwolves outlasted Stillman Valley 3-1 on PK’s and a 1-0 final to advance to Fridays sectional Final.

IC (17-1-1) will face either Byron or Rock Island Alleman for a shot at the first girls soccer sectional title in school history.
