The 2024 Patriot League men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Patriot League held from November 9 through November 16, 2024. 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 Boston University Terriers.[1] They were unable to defend their crown, as they were eliminated by Colgate in a penalty shoot-out the Semifinals. The second seeded Bucknell Bison would go on to claim the title, defeating Colgate in the final, 3–0.[2][3] The conference championship was the fifth for the Bucknell men's soccer program, and the second for head coach Dave Brandt. It is the first title for Brandt at Bucknell. He won the 2013 title while head coach of Navy.[4] As tournament champions, Bucknell earned the Patriot League's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
Seeding
Six of the ten Patriot League men's soccer programs qualified for the 2024 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 first and second seeds in the tournament as Boston University and Bucknell both finished with identical 4–1–4 regular season records. Boston University earned the top seed by virtue of their 1–0 defeat of Bucknell on October 12, during the regular season. Another tiebreaker was required for the sixth and final seed in the tournament as Holy Cross and Loyola Maryland both finished with 3–3–3 regular season records. Loyola Maryland earned the final spot in the tournament by virtue of their 2–1 regular season win over Holy Cross on September 29.[5][6]
