We’re into the postseason now and there are a lot of automatic qualifying bids to be fought over. One bid that is already in the bag belongs to Texas, who grabbed the LSA automatic qualifier by beating Texas State in the final. It’s the third straight trip to the dance for the Longhorns and the seventh in program history.
Colorado State remained comfortably on top of the poll with no movement from last week among the Top 8.
Who’s Hot
Stanford (+3): The Cardinal was starting to lose some of their luster, but a clutch victory over California restored their reputation.
Who’s Not
California (-4): Stanford smacked the Bears around in the regular season finale, but they’ll meet again in the WCLL semifinals.
Virginia Tech (Out): There was a lot of promise for the Hokies this spring, but they just couldn’t find a way to win the big game.

The two undefeated teams at the top of the polls finally get their chance to figure out who is the real No. 1. The fact that it features one of the best rivalries in the MCLA – Colorado State vs. Colorado – is just gravy. There’s a good chance that this is just the first of two meetings (and possibly three), so it doesn’t end on Saturday. However, it will eliminate any debate about who is the top dog at this point.
Chapman hops into the third chair vacated by Arizona State and the Panthers are followde by BYU and UC Santa Barbara.
Who’s Hot
Grand Canyon (+6): Life is good in the desert for the ‘Lopes. They knocked off ASU and are looking good for a Greenville trip.
Who’s Not
Arizona State (-3): The Sun Devils scrambled back nicely to take Grand Canyon to OT, but couldn’s seal the deal.
Davenport (-3): The Panthers were out-gunned by Pittsburgh, but they could make amends against Sparty.
