ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø battled through 90 minutes of intense soccer, but the fourth-ranked women's soccer team ultimately came up short in a 2-1 loss to second-ranked Johns Hopkins University in the 2022 NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship on Sunday afternoon at Kerr Stadium in Salem, Virginia. The loss put an end to one of the most successful seasons ever by a Spartan team in any sport, as ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø finished the year as the national runner-up with a 20-1-1 overall record.

The national second place finish matches the best finish by any ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø team in school history (2022 & 2021 men's tennis) and is the best finish in school history for any Spartan women's team.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø first-year midfielder , senior defender , graduate student forward , and senior midfielder  were each named to the All-Tournament Team following the game.
