Big West -- Up to the Minute

Here's how things stand in the Big West table heading into today's action:
Pacific 7-2; Northridge 7-2; Fullerton 7-3; UCSB 6-3; Poly 4-5; Irvine 4-5; UCD 2-7; UCR 2-7; Long Beach 2-7.

Today's games:
Fullerton at Poly
Northridge at UCD
Long Beach at Pacific
Irvine at UCSB

Here are some tiebreaker notes as it stands heading into action today:
--Pacific and Northridge have split the season series, but the Tigers currently lead due the results against third-place Fullerton. Pacific is 1-0 and the Matadors are 0-1.
--UCSB owns a season-sweep over Fullerton.
--Poly and Irvine have split the season series, but the Mustangs' win over Pacific would currently put them fifth and the Anteaters' sixth. Irvine's best win is against Santa Barbara.
--The situation is a mess in the bottom three. UCD loses the tiebreaker to Long Beach courtesy of the season sweep. It currently leads the season series against UC Riverside 1-0. Riverside, however, holds the tiebreaker with Long Beach courtesy of its victory over the 49ers earlier in the year. So that will have to play out further.
