Slight Shifts Show in Weekly Tennis Seedings

APU Men and PLNU Women stay in top spots. Biola men jump to No. 3 after win over Concordia

Slight shifting characterized the second Pacific West Conference men's and women's tennis seedings on Wednesday, April 3. 

On the men's side, Biola and Concordia swapped spots in the No. 3 and No. 5 slots, due in part to Biola's win over the Golden Eagles (6-1) last week. Unbeaten Azusa Pacific remained at No. 1 with Hawai`i Pacific at No. 2.

For the woomen, the only change came further down the ladder in the last two qualifying spots. Stanislaus State switched spots with Colorado Mesa at No. 11-12 after the Warriors defeated the Mavericks on Monday, 5-2. Unblemished Point Loma stayed at No. 1 with Azusa Pacific second. 

The 2024 Pacific West Conference Men's and Women's Tennis Championships will be held April 17-20 in Surprise, Arizona. Eight teams will qualify on the men's side to compete and 12 will advance from the women's seeding list to the tournament at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Club. 

The PacWest seeding committee of eight administrators from PacWest schools (two from each geographical pod) list all 10 men's teams and all 15 women's programs. This is the second listing, leading up to the final selection of the tournament fields on April 8. After the field is selected, there will be a final seeding determination on April 14 before the tournament begins on the 17th.
