GNAC TOURNAMENT UPDATE
This season will conclude with the inagaural GNAC Tournament, a postseason tournament featuring the top eight teams in the final conference standings. The top four teams will host the bottom four teams in the first round. The second and final rounds will be played at the higher seed's home site. The winner of the tournament will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

If the tournament started today, Western would face Alaska Anchorage as the conference's seventh seed. If WOU wins both of its games and NNU loses both, the Wolves would finish in sixth and play Seattle Pacific. If WOU wins both its games and Saint Martin's loses both, the Wolves would finish in a three-way tie for fifth place. The GNAC tie-breaker would then be used to determine the tournament's fifth seed.
