# 2023 Atlantic 10 Conference men's soccer tournament

The 2023 Atlantic 10 men's soccer tournament was the post season men's soccer tournament for the Atlantic 10 Conference held from November 4 to November 12, 2023. The seven-match tournament took place at campus sites, with the higher seed hosting. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Saint Louis Billikens. Saint Louis was the second seed, but was unable to defend their title as they fell to seventh seed UMass in the Quarterfinals in a penalty shoot-out. Sixth seed Dayton went on to win the tournament, defeating first seed VCU 2–1 in the Final. This was Dayton's fifth tournament title, and first since 2015. All five of Datyon's titles have come under head coach Dennis Currier. As tournament champions Dayton earned the A10's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

## Seeding

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. A three-way tiebreaker was required for the second, third, and fourth seeds as Davidson, Loyola Chicago, and Saint Louis all finished with fifteen conference points. Record against common conference opponents was used as the tiebreaker. Saint Louis had the best record in that regard and was the second seed. They were followed by Loyola Chicago as the third seed and Davidson as the fourth seed. A second tiebreaker was required to determine the sixth and seventh seeds as Dayton and UMass both finished with thirteen points. Dayton earned the sixth seed by virtue of their 3–1 win in the head-to-head match up during the regular season.
