The 2024 CAA women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Coastal Athletic Association held from October 31 through November 9, 2024. The First Round and Semifinals of the tournament were hosted by the first and second seed and the final was hosted by the highest remaining seed. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Towson,[1] who were unable to defend their title, after not qualifying for the tournament. They finished in a three-way tie for fifth in the regular season standings, but lost the tiebreakers to not qualify for the tournament. Stony Brook won the tournament by defeating Monmouth in the Final, 2–1.[2][3] The conference tournament title was the first overall for the Stony Brook women's soccer program and the first for head coach Tobias Bischof. Stony Brook had previously won three America East conference tournament titles, but this was their first CAA title after moving to the conference in 2022.[4] As tournament champions, Stony Brook earned the CAA's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
Seeding
[edit]The top six teams in the Coastal Athletic Association regular season standings earned a spot in the tournament and teams were seeded by regular season conference record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the first and second seeds as Monmouth and Stony Brook tied for first place with 7–1–2 conference records. The two teams tied their regular season matchup 2–2. Monmouth earned the first seed by virtue of their win over Hofstra. There was a three-way tie for fifth place between Charleston, Delaware, and Towson, as all teams finished 4–2–4. Delaware earned the fifth seed by way of record against highest ranking common opponent, Hofstra. Delaware won their regular season meeting 2–1 while the other two teams lost. Charleston earned the sixth, and final seed in the tournament by virtue of a better goal differential in league games (+5) while Towson had a +2 goal difference. Towson finished seventh and did not qualify for the tournament.[5]
