Ties vs. overtime: Did it help or hurt in first season?

The Manhattan College women’s soccer team wouldn’t have cared so much if the new rule began a year earlier. The Jaspers went 7-7-1 last season with a 1.13 record of goals per game and a 0.396 record of shots on goal, finishing ninth in the conference and just missing the eight-team playoffs. They lost three games in overtime.
