Previous season

See main article: 2023 Miami Hurricanes women's soccer team.

The Hurricanes finished the season 3–10–4 overall and 2–7–1 in ACC play to finish in twelfth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament. Their three wins were a program low for a full season, with only the shortened 2020 season resulting in fewer wins. This was the second year in a row Miami finished with a 2–7–1 conference record, and the third time in Barnes' tenure. After the season, it was announced that Barnes would no longer continue as head coach.[3]
