Grand Canyon begins the final week of the regular season with a crucial Pacific West Conference doubleheader with BYU-Hawai’i at Stapleton-Pierson Stadium Monday at noon.
The Antelopes (31-16, 18-6) are out of the running for first place in the conference, but are still in the hunt for the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA West Region.
GCU has six conference games remaining, two with BYU-Hawai’i (11-22, 6-21) and four with second-place Dixie State (33-10, 23-5).
California Baptist, in transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II, is ineligible for the automatic bid, but can win the conference with a victory in its final league game Monday against Dominican (0-27, 3-42).
GCU trails Dixie State by three games; the Red Storm has just the four games remaining in Phoenix with doubleheaders Friday and Saturday.
“We’ll have to play well to win against BYU,” said GCU head coach Ann Pierson, not looking too far ahead at the upcoming week. “It’s just like it has been all year and it’s starting to sound like a broken record, we’ll have to play well to win. We can’t just show up and expect to win.”
Automatic bids into the NCAA West Region will go to champions, or highest-finishing eligible team, in the PacWest, California Collegiate Athletic Association and Great Northwest Athletic Conference and five at-large team selected by a regional and NCAA committee.
Weekly region rankings, selected by the regional advisory committee, are released each Wednesday. Grand Canyon is currently No. 8 in the latest West Region poll. Final selections will be made April 29 and announced on the NCAA Division II Softball Selection Show to air April 30 at 7 a.m. at www.ncaa.com.
