Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC played a reduced schedule in 2020 and the NCAA Tournament was postponed to 2021.[1] [2] The ACC did not play a spring league schedule, but did allow teams to play non-conference games that would count toward their 2020 record in the lead up to the NCAA Tournament.[3]
The Tigers finished the fall season 6–4–0, 5–3–0 in ACC play to finish in fourth place. As the fourth seed in the ACC Tournament, they lost to Duke 1–0 in the Quarterfinals. The Tigers finished the spring season 6–0–0 and received an at-large bid as the fourteenth seed in the NCAA Tournament. They defeated Rutgers and UCLA on penalties before losing to the eventual champions Santa Clara in the Quarterfinals to end their season.
