Seeds

Of the 11 conference teams, 10 were eligible for the tournament. UC San Diego was ineligible for the tournament, as it was in the second year of the four-year transition required for teams transferring to Division I from Division II. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. Unlike previous years, reseeding teams after the quarterfinals did not take place for the 2022 tournament.
