The five-match tournament took place at South Campus Stadium, home of the regular season champions Montana Grizzlies. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Idaho were the defending champions.[1] Idaho was unable to defend their title as they lost to Sacramento State, in a penalty shoot-out in the Final.[2][3] This was the third overall title for Sacramento State, all of which have come under head coach Randy Dedini.[4] As tournament champions, Sacramento State earned the Big Sky's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
