# 2024 MAAC men's soccer tournament

The 2024 MAAC men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference held from November 10 through November 17, 2024. The five-match tournament took place at campus sites, with the higher seed hosting each match. The host for the matches was determined by seeding from regular season play. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Rider Broncs were the defending champions. They were unable defend their title as the second seed in the tournament. They lost in the Final to first seed Iona in overtime 1–0. This was Iona's second overall tournament win, both of which have come under head coach James Hamilton. As tournament champions, Iona earned the MAAC's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

## Seeding

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the 2024 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 tiebreaker was required to determine the first and second seeds in the tournament as Iona and Rider both finished with 6–1–1 regular season records. Iona defeated Rider 1–0 during the regular season, on September 28. Therefore, Iona earned the first seed. There was a four-way tie for seeds five through eight as Manhattan, Marist, Mount St. Mary's, and Sacred Heart all finished with identical 3–3–2 regular season records. All the teams did not play each other during the regular season, so the team's point totals against common opponents was used as the tiebreaker. Marist was the fifth seed, Manhattan was the sixth seed, Sacred Heart was the seventh seed, and Mount St. Mary's was the eighth seed.
