Bismarck Legacy once again proved their dominance, finishing the regular season with an impressive 16-0 record in the WDA and a 16-3 overall mark.

The state tournament, hosted at Mandan's Starion Sports Complex, witnessed Fargo South claim the championship title, marking their first since 2009. They defeated Grand Forks Red River 2-0 in the finals, further solidifying their place in North Dakota soccer history. The tournament was characterized by intense matches, including a dramatic shootout between WF Sheyenne and Fargo Shanley for third place, which required nineteen players to determine the winner.
