The 2025 NCAA Women’s Soccer Bracket has been released, and with it comes the continued dominance of the Power 4 conferences, especially the ACC. Three of the top four seeds are from the ACC, and the conference has five of the 12 top-three seeds. Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Michigan State, TCU, Colorado, Kansas, and Georgetown are the other seven non-ACC teams that have a top-three seed, making them teams to track as the tournament kicks off this Friday.
Other notes are defending champions North Carolina dropped to being a non-seeded team in the bracket this season, and Utah Valley made it in as a Non-Power 4 at-large bid.
