Preseason Tournaments
Prior to last week in Portland, the last time the Warriors competed in a preseason tournament was back in Dec. of 2011. In another matchup of West Region schools, the Warriors went to San Francisco to compete in the CCAA/PacWest Challenge. The Warriors went 1-1, losing to what were a fellow CCAA school, Grand Canyon, and defeating Notre Dame de Namur. Stan State will play in another preseason tournament next week in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Tough Exhibition Competition
The Warriors competed against two DI programs in preseason exhibition games earlier this season and will have three more contests against higher division programs. So far, the Warriors took on UC Davis and Nevada in early November. They will take on Sacramento State, Cal State Bakersfield and San Jose State later this season.
