The defending champions, Notre Dame was unable to defend their title, falling to Clemson in the first round. Clemson advanced to the final, becoming the lowest seed to do so in tournament history.[3] However, Clemson could not complete their improbable run, losing to Syracuse 2–0 in the final. The victory was the second ACC Tournament title during Syracuse's time in the ACC and second title under head coach Ian McIntyre.[4]
