The 2022 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament in the United States was the 41st 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 2 and December 5 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.
Florida State was the defending National Champion and were unable to defend their title after falling to North Carolina in the semifinals. North Carolina would go on to lose in overtime in the final to 2âÂÂ3.
The 2022 title was UCLA's second in program history and first under head coach Margueritte Aozasa. Aozasa became the first coach in NCAA women's soccer history to win the title in her first year as head coach.
All Division I women's soccer programs are eligible to qualify for the tournament. 28 teams received automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments, 3 teams received automatic bids by claiming the conference regular season crown (Ivy League, Pac-12 Conference, and West Coast Conference don't hold conference tournaments), and an additional 33 teams earned at-large bids based on their regular season records.
The bracket was announced on Monday, November 7, 2022. First round games were played on November 11, 12 or 13 at campus sites.
