UCSB and CSUF are tied atop the WCHC Tier 2 South standings. Both teams are 5-0 on the season in conference place, and each have a possible points total of 16, though they face each other twice in their final 3 games each. The intrigue in the tier is for the third playoff spot, as LBSU and UC Irvine are each tied with 4 points, though UC Irvine has played all their conference games this season, so would need LBSU to lose out to reach a tie breaker for the final spot. The Kingsman of CLU sit at the back of the pack, but won their first conference game of the season in December and are coming together as a team throughout the season.
