The Weber State Wildcats enter the final week of the season in a tight race for their second consecutive Big Sky Conference regular season championship, but they'll have to deal with the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks and Southern Utah Thunderbirds first.
In Saturday's match the Wildcats will be honoring Rylin Adams, Emily Olson, Ashlyn Power, and Sam Schiess for their tremendous careers at WSU.
TIEBREAK SCENARIOS
Putting it as simply as possible, if Weber State, Northern Colorado, and Portland State end up in a three-way tie for first place, all three teams will share the regular season conference title and the tiebreaks will be used to determine conference tournament seeding and the host for next year's Big Sky tournament.
If the three teams finish with the same record, Portland State will be the one seed, Weber State the two, and Northern Colorado the three.
If Weber State finishes in a tie with only Portland State, WSU would be the owner of the number one seed.
If the Wildcats finish in a tie with Northern Colorado, Weber State would finish with the top seed.
Should the Wildcats win out over the weekend, they cannot finish lower than second in the conference tournament seeding, and would win a share of the Big Sky regular season title.
