The Mustangs were led by head coach Nicole Nelson, in her fourth season. They played their home games at Washburne Stadium in Dallas, Texas. This was the team's 32nd season playing organized women's college soccer and their 2nd playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Mustangs started off their season with a non-conference match against tenth-ranked Wake Forest, which they lost 2–0. They then went on a three-match winning streak before losing to the next Power 4 team they faced, , again 2–0. They defeated two non-Power 4 teams before opening the ACC season with a draw at Syracuse 1–1. They defeated 1–0 to finish their non-conference season. Their next string of games proved to be a bright spot where the team went 2–1–1. They defeated Pittsburgh and California, drew against Miami (FL) and lost to NC State. The team couldn't keep that form through the end of the season as they lost their final five ACC matches. Four of the five matches were against ranked teams. During the span the Mustangs lost to second ranked Notre Dame and Stanford, twenty-third ranked North Carolina and they ended the season against twenty-first ranked Louisville.
The Mustangs finished the season 8–8–2 overall and 2–6–2 in ACC play to finish in twelfth place. The team did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.
