Here is a rundown of every women’s conference tournament final played, plus final outcome of those leagues without a conference tournament. Then I take a crack at the at-large bids.

Big Ten: Penn State won its 12th consecutive league title via a 2-0 win over Michigan. Katie Schoepfer and Jackie Molinda scored for the Nittany Lions.

Big West: What’s a college soccer fan to do? Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara were deadlocked after 110 minutes and set to go to penalty kicks to decide the Big West Tournament winner and the recipient of the automatic tournament bid. Then the Internet feed froze. Hours later I was still wondering who won. Had they gone to like 200 rounds of spot kicks or something? The Big West and Cal Poly sites remain silent but credit to the UCSB site as it let us know that the Gauchos had in fact won the shootout 5-4 and they will be advancing.

CAA: Erin Pardini scored late to give UNC Wilmington a 1-0 win over James Madison in the final.

Conference USA: Memphis defeat UCF on goals from Vendula Strrnadova, Averi Hallman and Lizzy Simonin.

Horizon: Wisconsin-Milwaukee defeated Valparaiso as Sarah Hagen scored 4 goals.
