Jamar Berry and his Central Washington University teammates look to wrap up a trip to the NCAA Division II National Tournament. The GNAC Tournament begins Monday.


The Great Northwest Athletic Conference wrapped up regular season play this past week. On the men's side Central Washington takes home the conference's number one seed. They finished 16-2 in conference and host Montana State University-Billings (6-12, 8-17) Monday in the opening round of the GNAC men's basketball tournament.

On the women's side, Western Washington nearly pulled off an undefeated conference season, losing the final game 71-63 to Seattle Pacific (13-5, 19-7). The Vikings (17-1, 24-2) are ranked number one in the Div. II West Region. They take on Simon Fraser (4-14, 7-16) their final conference game.

The winner of the conference tournament is guaranteed a spot in the Div. II National Tournament, while the losers are left to scoop up at large bids.
