This top seeding marks the first time in program history in which the Argonauts have earned the top spot within the South Region and means West Florida will now host the upcoming South Regional Tournament right here in Pensacola, Florida.

In addition to this being the first time the Argonauts have ever hosted the South Regional, this year's tournament will also mark the 15^th consecutive season in which West Florida has reached the NCAA Tournament which dates back to the 2006 season.

Not only coming in as the top seed in the region, West Florida will also be the highest nationally ranked team in the region coming in as the No. 5 ranked team in the nation just above No. 9 Tampa and No. 21 Nova Southeastern.

Following a traditional bracket style, the Argonauts will be set to take on the No. 8 seeded Spring Hill Badgers on the first day of competition while Tampa takes on Palm Beach Atlantic, Nova Southeastern takes on Alabama Huntsville, and Embry Riddle takes on Lynn.
