The GCU men's soccer team is ranked No. 5 in the West Region in this week's official NCAA poll behind No. 1 Cal State L.A., No. 2 Cal State Dominguez Hills, No. 3 Seattle Pacific and No. 4 Chico State. Three of those four schools are members of the California Collegiate Athletic Conference. SPU is in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
Only the top four schools in the official NCAA rankings for each region qualify for postseason. GCU was ranked No. 4 in the West Region in last week's NCAA vote and won both of its matches during the week by scores of 6-1 and 3-0.
California Baptist, in its first year in the PacWest and NCAA Division II after moving up from the NAIA, is eligible to win the conference championship but will not be able to qualify for postseason until its third year at this level.
The same is true of Simon Fraser, which is ranked No. 1 in the West Region in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll but not included in the NCAA vote. The Clan is in its second year in the GNAC and second at the Division-II level, so it will be eligible for postseason next year.
