The 2024 Miami Hurricanes women's soccer team represented University of Miami during the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Hurricanes were led by head coach Ken Masuhr, in his first season. They played home games at Cobb Stadium. This was the team's 26th season playing organized women's college soccer and their 21st playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Masuhr was hired as the new head coach on December 5, 2023. [2]

Contents

The season did not start well under their new coach, as the Hurricanes lost two of their first three games, drawing the other. They improved their play to win their next three games, including a 2–1 victory over Power 5 opponent Missouri. Their run ended with the start of ACC play, where they lost 3–1 to second ranked Virginia. They would draw 3–3 with SMU before losing to sixth ranked Stanford and California. They earned a 0–0 draw against Virginia Tech before defeating Florida Atlantic. The Hurricanes went 1–3–1 over their final five ACC games with a win over Syracuse and the draw coming against Pittsburgh. In their final game of the season, they lost 0–1 to then sixth ranked Florida State

The Hurricanes finished the season 5–8–4 overall and 1–6–3 in ACC play to finish in fifteenth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.

Previous season

The Hurricanes finished the season 3–10–4 overall and 2–7–1 in ACC play to finish in twelfth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament. Their three wins were a program low for a full season, with only the shortened 2020 season resulting in fewer wins. This was the second year in a row Miami finished with a 2–7–1 conference record, and the third time in Barnes' tenure. After the season, it was announced that Barnes would no longer continue as head coach. [3]
