2017 Conference USA Women's Soccer Tournament

The 2017 Conference USA Women's Soccer Tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for Conference USA held from November 1 through 5, 2017. The seven-match tournament took place at FAU Soccer Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Charlotte 49ers, but they failed to defend their title after losing the penalty shoot-out tiebreaking procedure in the final following a tie with the North Texas Mean Green.[1][2] The conference championship was the second for the North Texas women's soccer program, both of which have come under the direction of head coach John Hedlund.[3][4]
