2013 American Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Tournament

The 2013 American Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Tournament was the first postseason tournament in men's soccer for the American Athletic Conference (The American) following the 2013 split of the original Big East Conference along football lines. The "Big East" name was purchased by the seven non-FBS football schools of the original conference, while the Big East charter was retained by the FBS schools now operating as The American. Including the history of the original Big East, which is jointly claimed by both successor conferences, this was The American's 18th men's soccer tournament.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
