Official Outcome of Hampton-Upstate Women's Soccer Match Determined
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (www.BigSouthSports.com) – The NCAA has upheld Hampton University’s protest of its Sept. 21 Big South women’s soccer conference match against USC Upstate, which was originally a 1-0, double-overtime victory for Upstate. Hampton protested that the game officials misapplied NCAA Rule 9.3.2 that addresses restarting play following a conduct, and the incorrect application of the rule had a direct impact on the outcome of the game as Upstate scored its goal following the ruling.
As allowed under NCAA guidelines, the result of the match has been declared a 0-0 draw. The Big South standings, results and statistics will reflect this decision where necessary.
