2017 Big Ten women's soccer tournament
The 2017 Big Ten Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big Ten Conference for the 2017 season.[1] It was held from October 29 through November 5, 2017. The seven-match tournament began with first-round matches held at campus sites, before moving to Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana for the semifinals and final.[1] The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular-season conference play.[1] Minnesota were the defending champions, but they were eliminated from the 2017 tournament with a 2–0 quarterfinal loss to Wisconsin. The Penn State Nittany Lions won the title with a 2–1 win over the Northwestern Wildcats in the final. The conference tournament title was the seventh for the Penn State women's soccer program and the third for head coach Erica Dambach.[2][3]
