Regional Rankings
Harding is ranked No. 2 in Super Region 3. These are the rankings that determine the 28 teams that qualify for the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Super Region 3 will have seven teams selected and includes the Great American Conference, MIAA, GLVC and GLIAC. The No. 1 seed has a first round bye. Nos. 2-4 host a first round game on Nov. 18 against teams 5-7 with matchups based on geography and conference alignment. Every effort is made to avoid teams from the same conference playing in the first round, and the committee attempts to match teams less than 600 miles apart to avoid the cost of flying the visiting team to its game. There will be another ranking out next Monday with the final selection of team announced on Nov. 12.
