2008 Belmont women's soccer culminated years of promise with a dream season. The Bruins won 13 matches, the second-most wins in a single-season in program history. As the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament, Belmont defeated Stetson, Kennesaw State and Mercer in succession to earn the program's first NCAA Tournament.
 
The victory over host Kennesaw State in the semifinal was particularly memorable. Madison Porter, Erica Carter and Marcela Sanchez scored goals as the score was 3-3 through regulation and overtime. From there, behind two saves from Sari Lin, the Bruins won, 4-2, in penalties. The following day, Lin carried Belmont to a shutout victory in penalties over Mercer. Belmont would play Auburn in the NCAA Tournament.
 
Four Bruins earned All-Atlantic Sun honors while Lin was named Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP and defender Jessica Rix was named National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and SoccerBuzz All-Region.
