From Greg Johnson | NCAA.com A visible 90-second possession clock could be coming to NCAA women’s lacrosse competition in the near future. During their June 1-3 meeting in Indianapolis, the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Rules Committee recommended adding a possession clock in the sport by the 2017 season in Division I, and by 2018 in Divisions II and III. Committee members believe delaying the implementation of the possession clock is warranted because it provides schools time to budget for any financial implications. The committee recommended using two clocks, one on each end of the field. However, one clock located at the scorer’s table would also be allowed. All rules proposals made by the committee must be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which is scheduled to discuss the women’s lacrosse recommendations on a July 16 conference call. Under the 90-second possession clock proposal, the offensive team must register a shot within that window or the opposition will be awarded the ball at the spot on the field where it was when time expired. The clock will be reset on a shot that is deflected by the goalkeeper or on a shot that hits the piping on the goal. The clock will reset on all changes of possession and when a defender receives a yellow or red card during the possession. The possession clock will keep counting down toward zero on shots that go wide or high of the goal. Other recommendations concerning self restarts, stick checks and more at NCAA.com
