INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.--Heading into the final week of the regular season (GNAC) and the conference tournaments (PacWest & CCAA), both Point Loma and Concordia stayed the same in the NCAA West Region NPI ratings, listed today (Nov. 9).

The Sea Lions are fifth again and Concordia stays sixth. Biola slips from No. 8 to No. 9 and Hawaii Hilo is 11^th again. This past week Point Loma won twice to clinch the PacWest title. Concordia went 1-0 and Biola lost in five sets to PLNU. Hilo won twice to secure their spot in the PacWest tournament, which is set for this Friday-Saturday (Nov. 13-14) in Costa Mesa.

CSU San Bernardino moved into the top spot after previous No. 1 Fresno Pacific lost to Cal Poly Pomona. FPU is No. 2, CPP is No. 3 and Central Washington is No. 4.

This is the final ranking before the NCAA Selection Show, next Monday.

2026 marks a way to calculate the weekly rankings, which in the past was tabulated by a ratings committee. Now a National Power Index (NPI) will produce the list that eventually will determine what teams qualify for the NCAA postseason. To read more about NPI, click here.
