Teams will be awarded points on the following basis:
- Three (3) points for each Win
- One (1) points for each Tie
- Zero (0) points for each Loss
In the event of a tie in points at the end of pool play, the teams to advance will be determined as follows:
- The winner in head to head competition.
- High point differential (goals scored minus goals allowed) - max of 5 per match.
- Most goals for.
- Fewest goals against.
- Most total wins.
- Most shutouts.
If a tie still exists after steps 1 through 5, NCAA Penalty Kick procedures will be taken fifteen (15) minutes prior to the scheduled start of the appropriate Quarterfinal or Semifinal game.
If a three-way tie exists within a bracket after steps 1 through 5, a three-way coin flip will be conducted. The teams that tie in the coin flip will compete in NCAA Penalty Kicks to eliminate one team prior to proceeding to NCAA Penalty Kicks with the third team. The coin flip and time of the NCAA Penalty Kicks will be determined at the fields.
