The PIAA might decide this week to eliminate overtime from regular-season high school soccer, taking a nod from NCAA rules and international norms. If approved, regular-season games tied after regulation would finish as a draw. Under current PIAA rules, teams play up to two 10-minute overtime periods trying to break the tie with a golden goal. But the PIAA soccer steering committee wants to eliminate in-season overtime in hopes of finishing games earlier on school nights, said Joe Maize, who represents the WPIAL on the committee.
