Akron @ Saint Mary's 11/12. Love. It.

That’s a big one. I hope we get a return trip to Akron. I would take a 2 for 1 if we have to. It’s all about Quad 1 games

For postseason games, which include conference tournaments and NCAA tournament games, the following procedures shall be used when a game is tied after the regulation 90 minutes. 7.2.1 Up to two sudden-victory overtime periods of 10 minutes each shall be played.

For anyone interested in the 2024 rules changes, a pdf of the NCAA Soccer Rule Book can be downloaded from the NCAA website at https://www.ncaapublications.com/p-4692-2024-and-2025-soccer-rules.aspx Here's a few excerpts, but I suggest looking at the full document. As I read it for men's soccer, a player can play in each period (1st half, 2nd half, 1st OT, 2nd OT), but if subbed out cannot re-enter until the next period. The following rules changes apply to Division I men's competition only. Substitutions (Rule 3.4.3). Allows teams six moments to make substitutions in a game. Substitutions (Rule 3.4.3). Allows substitutions to occur during any stoppage of play. Substitutions (Rule 3.5.1 Exception). Eliminates reentry in the second half for field players and makes all periods the same (no reentry). 3.4.3 For Division I men only, each team is permitted six substitution moments during a game. A moment may be used during any stoppage of play, and up to 11 players per team may be substituted for in each moment per Rule 3.3. If a team is only substituting players under the exceptions of Rule 3.7, that shall not count as a moment. If a normal substitution is made at the same time as one under the exceptions of Rule 3.7, that shall count as a moment. For postseason overtime games, each team shall retain any unused moments from regulation play and receive one additional moment. Substitutions during intervals between periods do not count as a moment. 3.5.1 Field Players. Field players are not permitted to reenter the game in the same period after being substituted for in the first half, the first overtime period and the second overtime period. Field players are permitted one reentry into the game after being substituted for in the second half. Each overtime period is considered a separate half, so a field player who is substituted for in the first overtime period may participate in the second overtime period. First half: no reentry. Second half: one reentry. First overtime period: no reentry. Second overtime period: no reentry. Exception: For Division I men only, a player who has been substituted for may not reenter the game in the same period unless it is for one of the exceptions listed in Rules 3.5.2 or 3.7. This includes overtime, where each 10-minute period is counted as a separate period with no reentry

Just the reaction I'd expect from that wonderful humble kid. Time to start planning our Indy road trip for Cavs at Pacers.

I'm worried about Finley getting hurt at OSUcks & then us going O-fer.
