Seeds

Only 9 of the 10 WCC teams participated in the Tournament due to Pacific's self-imposed postseason ban. As a result, the top 7 teams received a bye into the Quarterfinals. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
