2022 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament
The 2022 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament 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  2–3. The 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. Qualification
