# 2022 Sun Belt Conference women's soccer tournament

The 2022 Sun Belt Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Sun Belt Conference held from October 31 to November 6, 2022. The nine-match tournament took place at the Foley Sports Complex in Foley, Alabama. The ten-team single-elimination tournament consisted of four rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the South Alabama Jaguars. South Alabama was unable to defend their title falling to Old Dominion in a penalty-shoot out in the Semifinals. Old Dominion would go on to win the tournament, defeating James Madison in extra time in the Final. This was the first Sun Belt women's soccer tournament title for the Old Dominion women's soccer program and the first for head coach Angie Hind. Old Dominion won the Sun Belt Tournament in their first year as part of the conference. As tournament champions, Old Dominion earned the Sun Belt's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament.

## Seeding

Ten of the fourteen Sun Belt Conference teams from the regular season qualified for the 2022 Tournament. Seeding was based on regular season records of each team. Although Arkansas State finished with a better regular season record than South Alabama, South Alabama was declared the West Division champions based on points earned against division opponents. A tiebreaker was required to determine the ninth and tenth seeds as Marshall and Southern Miss both finished with 2–5–3 regular season records. Southern Miss was awarded the ninth seed by virtue of their regular season victory over Marshall.
