The 2022 Patriot League men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Patriot League held from November 5 through November 12, 2022. The tournament was held at campus sites, with the higher seeded team hosting. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Loyola Greyhounds.[1] They were unable to defend their crown, as they finished in seventh place during the regular season and did not qualify for the tournament. The Navy Midshipmen would go on to claim the title, defeating American in the final, 1–0.[2] The conference championship was the second for the Navy men's soccer program, and the first for head coach Tim O'Donohue.[3] As tournament champions, Loyola earned the Patriot League's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.

Seeding

[edit]

Six of the ten Patriot League men's soccer programs qualified for the 2022 Tournament. Teams were seeded based on their regular season records. Tiebreakers were used to determine the seedings of teams who finished with identical conference records. A tiebreaker was required to determine the third and fourth seeds in the tournament as Colgate and Navy both finished with 14 points in conference play. The teams tied their regular season match-up so a second tie breaker of overall records was used. Colgate finished with 7–3–7 record while Navy finished with a 5–4–8 record so Colgate was awarded the third seed and Navy was the fourth seed. A second tiebreaker was required to determine the sixth seed of the tournament and the first team to not qualify for the tournament as American and Loyola (MD) both finished with eleven conference points. The two teams tied their regular season match-up so overall records were used again. American finished with a 6–6–5 record while Loyola (MD) finished with a 4–5–8 record and was therefore unable to defend its tournament crown.[4][5]
