The 2024 North Carolina Tar Heels women's soccer team represents the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. It is the 48th season of the university fielding a program. The Tar Heels are led by first-year head coach Damon Nahas and play their home games at Dorrance Field in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
The Tar Heels were set to be led by Anson Dorrance but he announced his retirement just four days prior to the season beginning on August 11, 2024. Damon Nahas was selected to be the interim head coach. [1]
The Tar Heels finished the season 13–2–8 and 5–0–5 in ACC play to finish in fourth place. As the fourth seed in the ACC Tournament, they hosted Pittsburgh in the first round and were upset 1–2 in overtime. They received an at-large bid to the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament where they were the third-seed in the BYU Bracket. They defeated Towson in the first round, six-seed Alabama in a second-round rematch, and second-seed Texas Tech in the Round of 16. They then had to travel to Provo, Utah to face one-seed BYU in the Quarterfinals. The Tar Heels raced out to a 3–0 lead in the first twenty minutes of the match, but surrendered four goals, three in the last ten minutes to lose 3–4 to end their season.
