On the men’s side, the Coast North proved to be the toughest of the state’s 13 leagues, with all seven teams advancing to the postseason.

Third-place College of San Mateo (14-14) is seeded No. 19 and will open at No. 14 Santa Rosa (22-6) at 5:30 p.m. Fourth-place Skyline (18-10) is No. 12 and will entertain No. 21 College of the Siskiyous (14-13), the Golden Valley Conference champion at 7 p.m. Seventh-place Cañada College (11-17) grabbed the final seed (No. 24) and will visit Central Valley champion and No. 9 Columbia College (23-5) in Sonora at 7 p.m.

Coast North men’s champion City College of San Francisco (23-5), as the the No. 2 seed, earned a first-round bye and will host the winner in a Saturday regional semifinal between Cosumnes River and Gavilan.

The No. 1 seed is Coast South champ West Valley College (28-0), also ranked No. 1 in the state. The Vikings open Saturday hosting the first-round winner between Las Positas and Los Medanos.
