*Hawaii Pacific won their last four matches to move into a tie for first place and they earned the No. 1 seed by virtue of their 2-1 win over Vanguard earlier this season. The Sharks have one of the top players in the conference in Kelly Takara and a top notch defense led by Defender of the Year Alex Arguijo and the Goalkeeper of the Year Eduardo Marin. 

*Vanguard tied with HPU for the conference title, their first since joining the conference in 2024. Like the Sharks, both 6-2-1, they finished strong to climb into the top slot of the standings by winning four of their last five matches. Earlier this year, the Lions beat their Thursday opponent Westmont, 4-3.

*Westmont got into the tournament by winning three of their last four matches, including a clinching 4-1 win over defending champion Point Loma, effectively knocking the Sea Lions out of the postseason. Two years ago, the Warriors won the first-ever PacWest men's soccer tournament and advanced the NCAA playoffs.

*Dominican clinched their spot on the last day of the season with a win over Jessup, giving them a spot to play on their own field. The Penguins have home field advantage and the Newcomer of the Year in Jaral Sebastian.
