Seeds
Of the 11 conference teams, 10 are eligible for the tournament. UC San Diego is ineligible for the tournament, as it is in the third year of the four-year transition required for teams transferring to Division I from Division II. Teams are seeded based on their performance within the conference, and teams with identical conference records are seeded using a tiebreaker system. Unlike previous years, reseeding teams after the quarterfinals will not take place for the 2023 tournament.
