The 2022 Mountain West Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Mountain West Conference held from October 30 through November 5, 2022. The five-match tournament took place at UNM Soccer Complex in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The New Mexico Lobos were the defending champions.[1] The Lobos were unable to defend their crown, losing to San Jose State in penalties in the Semifinals. San Jose State won the title after a second penalty shootout victory over Wyoming in the Final.[2] This was the third tournament championship for San Jose State, their first since 2018. It was the first title for head coach Tina Estrada.[3] As tournament champions, San Jose State earned the Mountain West's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament.
Seeding
The top six teams from regular season play qualified for the 2022 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season records. Tiebreakers were used to determine seeds if teams were tied on regular season record.[4] There was a three-way tie for the regular season championship between Wyoming, New Mexico, and San Jose State as all three teams finished with 20 points in conference play. The tiebreaker was determined by regular season records amongst the three tied teams. Wyoming earned the first seed finishing with a win over San Jose State and a tie with New Mexico. New Mexico was the second seed after finishing with a tie against both teams. Therefore, San Jose State was the third seed as they lost to Wyoming and tied with New Mexico. Another tiebreaker was required for the third and fourth seeds in the tournament, as Utah State and San Diego State both finished with 5–3–3 records in the regular season. The team's regular season matchup finished tied 0–0, so a second tiebreaker of goal difference in conference matches was used. Utah State earned the forth seed based on this tiebreaker as they finished with a +5 goal difference while San Diego State finished with a +4 goal difference. A final tiebreaker was needed to determine the sixth and final team in the tournament after Colorado College and Boise State finished with identical 4–3–4 conference records. These two teams also tied their regular season matchup 0–0. Colorado College qualified for the tournament based on their +3 goal difference in conference matches, while Boise State finished with a +1 goal difference.[5][6]
