4 women’s soccer teams that could make first-time College Cup appearances this season


4 women’s soccer teams that could make first-time College Cup appearances this season

The road to the women’s 2025 women’s cup starts now. Every season 64 teams compete in the NCAA football tournament for the chance to reach the College Cup, while this year’s event is set up by Kansas City, Mo.

Powerhouse programs such as North Carolina (22 of the 43 College Cup championships), Stanford, Florida State and Notre Dame dominated the tournament for decades. However, there are other teams that consistently achieve NCAA, but have never penetrated the semifinals.

Here are four teams that could get to the College Cup for the first time this season. These evaluations come from the first week of United Soccer Coaches survey.

6 Tennessee | 9-7-4 (Record 2024)

Tennessee opened 2025 with a victory of 2-0 over the then-not. 1 North Carolina, the very first victory of the program against the top team. Redshirt Junior Transfer Shae O’Rouke scored both goals in his debut Lady Vols, while goalkeeper Cayden Norris anchored a clean sheet. Momentum transmitted on 1-0 road upset over 4 UCLA for the first wins of his back to win over 5 Top-5 and strengthened Tennessee as a legitimate catapulting candidate for the College Cup, which was in the Coach survey.

No. T7 TCU | 17-4-2 (record 2024)

Horned Frogs began the season with a 1-0 victory in UTSA, secured by Sophomore Cameron Patton by a late strike and goalkeeper Olivia Geller, who maintained a clean sheet in her debut. Their highest destination for the tournament was in 2020 and reached the quarterfinals. Hroh’s frogs showed their TOP-10 positions with a victory of 3-2 on the road above No. 9 Iowa. With victory, head coach Eric Bell became the latest coach in the history of the program.

9 Iowa | 15-3-4 (Record 2024)

Iowa began a year by appearing in the thrilling victory of 3-2 6 Arkansas and sending a timely statement in the conflict of TOP 10. Freshman Liana Tarasco shone and gained Big Ten Freshman of the Week for her escape. Hawkeyes ended their 2024 campaign in the third round and with a mixture of veteran lines and impressive newcomers, Hawkeyes look ready for their deepest postseason pressure.

No. 24 Memphis | 13-2-4 (2024 record)

In addition to power conferences, there are several schools that want to carry out the lengthy postseason runs. Of these teams, the Tigers No. 24, who had the perfect start 2-0, including the convincing 6-0 victories over Southern Miss and the 3-2 victory in Ole Miss. Tigers made Postseason 12 times, with the third round performance in 2022 and 2023. Memphis was for each of the last four AAC Championship, which won three of them, and now looks at the first university start.
