The 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament was the 43rd edition of the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament, a postseason tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA Division I women's college soccer. The College Cup was played on December 6 and December 9 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina and televised on ESPNU.[1]
Florida State are the defending National Champion.[2] Florida State was awarded a first seed but was unable to defend their title falling to Vanderbilt in penalties in the Second Round.
Four teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) qualified for the college cup, and North Carolina prevailed, claiming their twenty-second college cup.[3]
Qualification
All Division I women's soccer programs were eligible to qualify for the tournament. 29 teams received automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments, 1 team received an automatic bid by claiming the conference regular season crown (West Coast Conference doesn't hold a conference tournament), and an additional 34 teams earned at-large bids based on their regular season records.[4]
