On the men's side, Seattle Pacific (GNAC), Azusa Pacific and Point Loma (PacWest) and UC San Diego (CCAA) top their respective league standings with three weeks to go in the regular season. Once-beaten UC San Diego (22-1 overall, 16-1 CCAA) is the current favorite to lock down the region's No. 1 seed for the regional playoffs and the accompanying regional hosting rights.
On the women's side, Alaska Anchorage (GNAC), Hawaii Pacific (PacWest) and UC San Diego (CCAA) are the current conference leaders. Hawaii Pacific, winner of 16 in a row, has suffered just one loss on the season (an out-of-region setback to Northern Sun co-leader Sioux Falls) and is in a tight race with UAA for the coveted regional hosting rights.
