The 2024 ASUN women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the ASUN Conference held from October 31 through November 10, 2024. The tournament was hosted at campus sites, with the #3 and #6 seed hosting the First Round and Quarterfinals while the #1 seed hosted the Semifinals and Final. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of four rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles were the defending tournament champions. ^{[1] [2]} The Eagles were unable to defend their title, falling to Eastern Kentucky in the Semifinals. Eastern Kentucky went on to lose the final to Lipscomb 1–0. ^{[3] [4]} It was Lipscomb's fourth overall title. All of the Bison's titles have come under head coach Kevin O'Brien. ^[5] As tournament champions, Lipscomb earned the ASUN's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. The top seed earned the right to host the Final and Semifinals. The #3 seed and #4 seed hosted a First Round game and a Quarterfinal each. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds as Eastern Kentucky and North Florida both tied with twenty-two regular season conference points. North Florida earned the fourth seed, and the right to host, by virtue of their 2–1 win over Eastern Kentucky on October 20. ^[6]
