NCAA Announces Changes to Overtime for Soccer

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel announced this week several rule changes and updates, most notably the elimination of overtime during the regular season for men's and women's soccer. The changes will go into effect next fall for the 2022 season.

After 90 minutes of play, regular season games with the score tied will officially end in a tie. Before the change, teams would play two 10-minute overtime periods utilizing the golden goal format where if one team scored a goal, the game would end with the scoring team as the victor. If neither team scored, the game would end in a tie.
