The 2024 Big Ten women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big Ten Conference held from November 1 through November 10, 2024. The tournament was hosted by the University of Minnesota at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium for the First Round and the Quarterfinals then at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri for the Semifinals and Finals.[1] The ten-team single-elimination tournament consisted of four rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. Iowa were the defending champions.[2][3] Iowa was unable to defend its title, falling to Washington in a penalty shoot-out in the Quarterfinals. League newcomers UCLA would go on to win the tournament title, defeating Rutgers 5–0 in the Final.[4][5] The conference tournament title was the first for UCLA and first for Margueritte Aozasa.[6] As tournament champions, UCLA earned the Big Ten's automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
Seeding
[edit]The top ten teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records. A tiebreaker was needed to determine the fifth and sixth seeds as both Rutgers and Washington finished with twenty-one conference points. The two teams met during the regular season on September 22, and Rutgers won 1–0. Therefore, Rutgers earned the fifth seed while Washington earned the sixth seed.[7]
