Seeding

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. The top seed hosted two of the four Quarterfinals and one Semifinal, while the second seed hosted the other two Quarterfinals and Semifinal. The highest remaining seed hosted the final. [4] Two tiebreakers were required to determine seeding for the tournament. A tiebreaker between Florida Gulf Coast and Lipscomb was required to determine the second and third seeds as both teams finished the regular season with identical 8–1–1 records. Florida Gulf Coast earned the second seed, and hosting privileges, due to a 2–1 victory over Lipscomb on October 13, 2022. [5] A tiebreaker between Eastern Kentucky and Central Arkansas was required to determine the fifth and sixth seeds as both teams finished the regular season with identical 4–4–2 conference records. Eastern Kentucky earned the fifth seed by virtue of their 3–2 regular season win versus Central Arkansas on September 18, 2022. [6]
