Yes, But

UAA’s recent form is strong, but the playoff picture is tight: Seattle Pacific is also 12-4 in conference play and sits ahead of the Seawolves in the regional rankings. MSU Billings has struggled overall, but recently snapped a 58-match GNAC losing streak and has pushed stronger teams to four sets.
