With a win against Idaho in Moscow, Hawai`i captured its 11th-straight WAC regular season title and the top seed in the WAC Tournament. In a season that saw the Rainbow Wahine endure several key injuries and suffer its first conference loss since 1998, Hawai`i will take the top seed in the tournament that will be held at the Lawlor Event Center in Reno, Nev., Nov. 22-24.
New Mexico State earns the second-seed with a 14-2 WAC record in its second season in the WAC. The Aggies became just the second school in WAC history to reach the 30-win mark. Idaho recovered from a slow start to earn the third seed with a 10-7 conference record. Host school Nevada grabbed the fourth seed. The Wolf Pack and San Jose State had identical 9-7 records, but Nevada captured the tiebreaker with a win over second-seeded New Mexico State.
The WAC Tournament begins on Wednesday, Nov. 22 with five matches. All eight matches can be seen on WAC.tv and the championship match can be seen live on CSTV on Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. PT.
