The 2025 Boston College Eagles women's soccer team represented Boston College during the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Eagles were led by head coach Chris Watkins, in his second season. They played home games at Newton Campus Soccer Field in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. This was the team's 45th season playing organized women's college soccer, and their 21st playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Eagles started the season with wins against non-Power 4 foes before drawing at home to Cornell. They lost their next match, their first against Power 4 competition, 0–1 at Illinois. The Eagles would go 2–0–2 in their final four non-conference games, defeating Albany and Massachusetts, while drawing against Colgate and St. John's. They finished their non-conference schedule 4–1–3. They lost their opening match in conference play, before earning a 0–0 draw against sixteenth-ranked Wake Forest. They then took a trip to California where they lost to third-ranked Stanford and earned another 0–0 draw against California. They lost their next three ACC matches, including a road loss to nineteenth-ranked North Carolina 1–3. They won their first ACC match of the season on October 19, 1–0, at Syracuse. That would prove to be their only ACC win of the year as they lost to Clemson and at seventh-ranked Virginia.
The Eagles finished the season 5–8–5 overall and 1–7–2 in ACC play to finish in a tie for fourteenth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament. By not qualifying for the NCAA tournament, they extended their streak of not qualifying to seven straight seasons.
Previous season
The Eagles finished the season 12–5–2 overall and 4–4–2 in ACC play to finish in tenth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament. Their twelve total wins were the most since 2018, a season prior to when Jason Lowe took over the program. Their four ACC wins were also the best since 2018. By not qualifying for the NCAA tournament, they extended their streak of not qualifying to six seasons.
