PacWest softball ranks 4 from region

The PacWest Conference had four of the eight teams in the most recent NCAA Division II West Region softball rankings, keeping the conference in the running to earn four berths in the national championship tournament.

Hawaii Pacific (39-6) remained the top-ranked team, while Grand Canyon (38-11) stayed at No. 2 for the second straight week. Hawaii-Hilo (31-14) dropped one spot to No. 5 and Dixie State (34-12) was voted No. 7.

There is no PacWest postseason tournament. Because the regular season is completed, the four teams in the regional rankings await word from the NCAA for postseason berths. The top eight in each region will be selected May 10 .
