The 2023 ASUN men's soccer tournament was the 45th edition of the postseason men's soccer tournament for the ASUN Conference, held from November 4 through November 11, 2023. All rounds of the tournament were hosted at the first and second seeds home stadiums, with the #1 seed Lipscomb, hosting the Final. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Lipscomb Bison were the defending tournament champions,[1] and were successful in defending their title, defeating second seed Bellarmine 1–0 in the Final.[2][3] It was their fifth title in seven years, and fifth title in program history for Lipscomb and coach Charles Morrow. It also was the third title in a row for Lipscomb.[4] As tournament champions, Lipscomb earned the ASUN's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

Seeding

[edit]

The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the second and third seeds for the tournament as Bellarmine and Stetson both finished with eleven conference points. Bellarmine defeated Stetson on October 28, and was therefore the second seed in the tournament. Four teams finished with nine conference points. After the tiebreakers, Queens was the fourth seed, Central Arkansas was the fifth seed, and Jacksonville was the sixth seed. Florida Gulf Coast was the fourth team to finish with nine conference points, and did not qualify for the tournament.[5]
