The 2025 Atlantic 10 Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Atlantic 10 Conference held from October 31 through November 9, 2025. All matches took place at on the campus of the higher seeded team. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending tournament champions were the Saint Louis Billikens.[1][2] The Billikens were unable to defend their title for an eighth straight time as they fell in the Semifinals to Rhode Island. Dayton defeated Rhode Island in the Final in a penalty shoot-out to earn the title.[3][4] This was the Flyer's eleventh overall title and first since 2016. It was the first title for ninth-year head coach Eric Golz.[5] As tournament champions, Dayton earned the Atlantic 10's automatic berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
Seeding
The top eight teams in regular season play qualified for the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records. A three-team tiebreaker was required between Fordham, Loyola-Chicago, and VCU as all three teams finished with sixteen conference points. All three teams did not play each other during the regular season, so records against common conference opponents was used. VCU earned the fifth seed, while Fordam was the sixth seed, which left Loyola-Chicago as the seventh seed.[6][7]
