Post three of this thread had the preseason poll. Utah Tech was initially picked 8th but finished first. Sam was picked 11th, but finished 6th.

SFA was third in both, while SUU was 12th. Tarleton and UTA were the only other two schools to do better than predicted. Everyone else faired worse than expected, though I doubt GCU is sweating finishing in the second spot.

EDIT: the conference tournament starts Wednesday with UTA taking on Sam Houston again (they just played each other,) followed by CBU and Tarleton. UTA and Sam were 2-2 against each other as one game was a non-conference game. TSU won the season series versus CBU 2-1 in Stephenville.

Seattle and GCU will play for the tournament final tomorrow. GCU is in the winners bracket.

GCU receives a four seed and is set to play UCLA in the Los Angeles regional. Included are San Diego St and Liberty.

GCU takes down #2 UCLA (3-2) after losing to the same team 12-1 in last year's NCAA regionals. This puts GCU in the winners bracket and will play either Liberty or San Diego State tomorrow at 2pm.
