The 2022 Patriot League women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Patriot League held from October 30 through November 6, 2022. The tournament was held at campus sites, with the higher seeded team hosting. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Bucknell Bison.[2] Bucknell successfully defended their title, defeating regular season champions Army, who were the #1 seed, in a penalty shootout in the final.[3] The conference championship was the sixth for the Bucknell women's soccer program, four of which have come under head coach Kelly Cook.[4] As tournament champions, Bucknell earned the Patriot League's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament.

Seeding[edit]

Seeding was based on regular season play with the top six teams qualifying for the tournament. The top two seeds received a bye to the Semifinals of the tournament and the higher seed hosted each match. A tiebreaker was required to determin the second and third seeds as both Bucknell and Boston University finished with eighteen points after regular season play. Bucknell won the regular season matchup between the two teams, so they were the second seed and earned the bye to the semifinals, while Boston University was the third seed. A tiebreaker was required to determine who the sixth and final team to make the tournament would be, as Loyola (MD) and Colgate both finished with 3–4–2 records in the regular season. Loyola (MD) won their regular season match-up 1–0 and earned the final spot in the tournament.[5]
