The five-match tournament took place at Spartan Soccer Complex in San Jose, California. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The San Diego State Aztecs were the defending champions but will not defend their title after having failed to qualify for the 2018 tournament. The San Jose State Spartans won the tournament with a 1–0 win over the New Mexico Lobos in the final.[1][2] This was the second tournament championship for San Jose State, both of which have come under coach Lauren Hanson.[3][4]
