UH's tee times are scheduled for 10:50 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. PT. Two-time defending champion Long Beach State is the top seed and highest ranked team in the field at No. 55 followed by Cal State Fullerton (#87), Cal Poly (#112), CSUN (#117), UC Davis (#123), Hawai'i (#160), UC Irvine (#169), UC Santa Barbara (#189), and UC Riverside (#253). The tournament will be played at the 7,056 -yard, par-72 course for the fourth consecutive year. UH finished sixth at last year's championship.
