The five-match tournament took place at campus sites for the quarterfinals and Sahlen's Stadium in Cary, North Carolina for the semifinals and final. The higher seed hosted the campus site matches. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Florida State Seminoles were the three-time defending champions.[1][2] Florida State successfully defended its title after defeating the Clemson Tigers 2–1 in the final. This was Florida State's tenth overall title, and fourth title in a row. It was head coach Brian Pensky's second consecutive title.[3] As tournament champions, Florida State earned the ACC's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
