The 2023 America East Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the America East Conference held from October 30 through November 5, 2023. The five-match tournament took place at campus sites, with the higher seed hosting. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the New Hampshire Wildcats,[1] [2] who were unable to defend their title after falling in the first round to Vermont. Maine won the tournament after an overtime victory in the final over UMass Lowell.[3] [4] It was the first victory in program history for Maine and the first for twenty-third year head coach Scott Atherly.[5] [6] As tournament champions, Maine earned the America East's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fifth and sixth seeds for the tournament as NJIT and Vermont both finished with 3–4–1 records during regular season play. NJIT earned the fifth seed by virtue of their 3–2 victory at Vermont on October 22. Therefore, Vermont was the sixth and final seed for the tournament.[7]
