The 2019 ASUN women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the ASUN Conference held from November 1 through November 9, 2019. The first round of the tournament was hosted at the first and second seed's home stadium. Then the remaining rounds of the tournament were hosted by the higher seed. 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, and successfully defended their crown, defeating Florida Gulf Coast in the final.[1][2] It was the second consecutive title, and second title in program history for Lipscomb and coach Kevin O'Brien.[3]
