The NCAA established a new rule before the start of this season that eliminated overtime after 90 minutes of play in non-conference play. A change to this rule was needed; however it affects players and fans differently. For the athletes, this was the best-case scenario to prevent unneeded injuries. However for fans, the alteration leaves much to be desired.
In previous seasons, once the 90-minute period ended, the match would move into two 10-minute overtime periods. During this time, the team that scored automatically won: a golden goal format.
