The Ladycats, runners-up in District 6, battled China Spring, the third-place team in District 5, in the Class 4A bi-district playoffs on Mar. 25, coming up short during a penalty-kick tiebreaker after dueling to a scoreless stalemate at the end of regulation and two ten-minute overtime periods. 

The Godley girls compiled a 8-2 district record going into the postseason matchup, marking the team’s third playoff appearance since the team’s founding in 2021.
