Only 2 events left before the WCRHL Regional Championships!

Division I
With only one Division I event to go, there is bound to be a lot of shuffling in the standings.  UC Santa Barbara and UNLV have qualified for Regionals, but no team has clinched the number 1 seed.  Long Beach needs 1 win to qualify for Regionals, while UC Irvine needs 1 tie to qualify.  Arizona State needs 2 wins, San Diego State needs 3 wins, and Cal Poly SLO sits idle with 16 points, with hopes that Arizona State and San Diego State falter in their remaining 6 games.  Arizona State has a tough schedule, with 2 games against UC Irvine, 2 against San Diego State, 1 game each against Long Beach State and Saddleback College.  San Diego State’s schedule consists of 2 games against Arizona State, 2 against Long Beach State, 1 game each against UC Irvine and El Camino College.

Division II
UC San Diego has the #1 seed locked up.
Seeds 2 through 6 are completely up in the air.  UC Berkeley (Cal) is marginally ahead of USC and USD.  Chapman, Pomona, UC Santa Cruz and Sonoma State follow closely behind.  UC Davis is still in contention, with 3 wins this coming weekend and losses by several other teams, it may indeed be possible.  However, 1-2 wins by several teams the next 2 weekends could eliminate UC Davis from the equation.

B Division
UC Santa Barbara B Gold, Arizona State B and Saddleback College B all have a shot at the #1 seed.  Those 3 teams, along with UC Santa Barbara B Blue, have clinched their spot in the Regional Championship Tournament.  UC San Diego B, Cal Poly SLO B, UC Irvine B and UC Davis B will fight it out for the 2 remaining spots.  Cal Poly SLO B needs 2 wins and a tie out of their 5 remaining games to clinch their spot, and UC San Diego needs 4 wins, or 3 wins, 2 against UC Irvine and UC Davis, in order to clinch their spot.

It is going to come down to the wire.  This weekend in Santa Barbara will sort out only a portion of the situation for Regionals.  The rest of the teams will duke it out on Feb 14-15 at the Anaheim Hockey Club in Corona, CA.

Playoff seeds and schedule will be announced on Monday Feb. 16.
