Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Soccer Overtime - Listen
Soccer games in the postseason have one big noticeable difference from the regular season. In the postseason, games cannot end in a tie – so games go to overtime and possibly a shootout.
Here’s how that works:
If the game is tied at the end of regulation, it will go to overtime, which is two 10-minute periods played in its entirety. There is no sudden death or golden goal winner. If there is a winner at the end of the 20 minutes, that team wins and advances to the next round. If there’s still a tie, we move to a shootout.
In the shootout, the teams alternate taking five penalty kicks. If it’s still tied after five kicks, they each kick until the tie is broken.

Performance of the Week: Forest Hills Central's Theryn Hallock
April 25, 2022
Theryn Hallock ♦ Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central
Soccer ♦ Senior
Hallock poured herself fully into basketball over her three years at Forest Hills Central, and before this spring hadn’t played competitive soccer since eighth grade. But her high school debut on the pitch has been nothing short of sensational. Hallock scored a hat trick (three goals) in four straight games, including an April 12 victory over Byron Center, which like FHC made the MHSAA Semifinals in 2021 – the Rangers in Division 1 and Byron Center in Division 2. After falling 2-1 to Richland Gull Lake in its season opener, Forest Hills Central is 6-1 this spring.
Hallock remains much more known for her accomplishments on the basketball court. A 5-foot-9 guard, Hallock was a Miss Basketball Award finalist this winter and averaged 26 points with 11.4 rebounds, 6.5 steals and 4.8 blocks per game. She will continue her basketball career at Michigan State, following her father Ty and brothers Tanner and Tate who all have played football for the Spartans; Tate is a junior this spring.
