# 2023 Mid-American Conference women's soccer tournament

The 2023 Mid-American Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Mid-American Conference held from October 29 through November 5, 2023. The First Round was held at campus sites. The semifinals and finals took place at WMU Soccer Complex in Kalamazoo, Michigan, home of Western Michigan, the regular season conference champions. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Buffalo Bulls were the defending champions, and they were unsuccessful in defending their title as they did not qualify for the tournament. The Ohio Bobcats finished as tournament champions from the sixth seed, defeating fourth seed Kent State in the final, 2–1. The title was the first in program history for the Buffalo women's soccer program and first for head coach Aaron Rodgers. As tournament champions, Ohio earned the Mid-American's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

## Seeding

Six Mid-American Conference schools participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded by conference record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the third and fourth seed as Ball State and Kent State both finished with 21 conference points. Ball State was awarded the third seed due to a 3–1 over Kent State on October 5. A tiebreaker was required to determine the sixth seed when defending champions Buffalo and Ohio both finished with 4–4–3 records during the regular season. Ohio defeated Buffalo 1–0 on September 24, and was therefore awarded the sixth spot in the tournament. Buffalo fell to seventh place and did not qualify for the tournament.
