The 2025 Big South Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big South Conference held from November 1 through November 9, 2025. The tournament was hosted by campus sites for the First Round and by the Sportsplex at Matthews in Matthews, North Carolina, for the Semifinals and Final. The six team-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. USC Upstate were the defending champions. ^{[1] [2]} The Spartans were unable to defend their crown, as they fell to Longwood in the Semifinals in a penalty shoot-out. High Point would go on to win the title over Longwood in another penalty shoot-out in the Final. ^{[3] [4]} The conference tournament title was the eighth for the High Point Panthers women's soccer program, and first for head coach Aaron McGuiness. ^[5] As tournament champions, High Point earned the Big South's automatic berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. The top two seeds earned byes into the Semifinals, and the third and fourth seeds earned the right to host a First Round match. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds as Gardner-Webb and High Point both finished with identical 3–3–2 regular season records. High Point earned the fourth seed by virtue of their 3–0 victory over Gardner-Webb during the regular season on October 25. ^[6]
