American college soccer tournament

The 2023 Missouri Valley Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Missouri Valley Conference held from October 26 through November 5, 2023. The Opening round and Second round was held at campus sites. The semifinals and finals took place at Cownie Sports Complex in Des Moines, Iowa. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of four rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Missouri State, who were unsuccessful in defending their crown as they fell to Valparaiso in the Semifinals.[1] Valparaiso would go on to win the tournament over top-seed Drake, 1–0 in the Final.[2] The conference tournament title was the first for the Valparaiso women's soccer program, and first for head coach John Marovich. Valparaiso has won two conference titles previously, but they were not in the Missouri Valley Conference.[3][4] As tournament champions, Valparaiso earned the Missouri Valley's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament.
