2022 NCAA Division I women's soccer championship game

The 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer championship game (also known as the 2023 NCAA Division I Women's College Cup) was played on December 4, 2023, at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina, and determined the winner of the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament, the national collegiate women's soccer championship in the United States. This was the 41st. edition of this tournament organised by the NCAA.

The match featured North Carolina (20–4–1), which played its 27th. final, and UCLA, which made its 6th. appearance in the final. UCLA made a historic comeback to defeat North Carolina 3–1 and win their second NCAA women's soccer title.

UCLA forced the extra time scoring two goals with only 10 minutes remaining. The winning goal was scored by Graduate midfielder Maricarmen Reyes in the 107'. UCLA (which had reached the final with a 22–2–1 record) also became the first women's soccer program in the NCAA history to win a national championship with a first-year head coach. This championship became the 120th. title in UCLA athletics program history.

North Carolina coach Anson Dorrance praised UCLA, and stated about the game: "This is one of the greatest finals I've personally ever been involved in" (...) up and back, lots of goals, overtime, the drama of sport — one team goes up, the other one claws their way back."
