The 2024 ASUN men's soccer tournament was the 46th edition of the postseason men's soccer tournament for the ASUN Conference, held from November 9 through November 16, 2024. All rounds of the tournament were hosted at the first and second seeds home stadiums, with the #1 seed Stetson, 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][2] and were unsuccessful in defending their title, as they finished eighth during the conference regular season and did not qualify for the tournament. The North Florida Ospreys would go on to win the title, defeating Central Arkansas in a penalty shootout in the Final.[3][4] The second title for the North Florida men's soccer program and the first under head coach Jamie Davies.[5] As tournament champions, North Florida earned the ASUN's automatic berth into the 2024 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 first and second seeds after North Florida and Stetson both finished the regular season with thirteen points in conference play. Stetson defeated North Florida 2–1 on September 21, and therefore earned the first seed. A second tiebreaker was required to determine the third and fourth seeds as Central Arkansas and Florida Gulf Coast finished with identical 3–3–1 regular season records. Florida Gulf Coast defeated Central Arkansas 2–1 on October 25, to earn the third seed. A final tiebreaker was required for the sixth and final seed as Bellarmine and Jacksonville finished with identical 2–3–2 records during regular season play. Bellarmine defeated Jacksonville 2–1 on October 26 to earn the sixth seed.[6]
