Henderson State, 25-22 overall and 18-12 in the GAC, is in fourth-place in the league standings and will be attempting to clinch home field advantage in the opening round of the GAC Tournament May 6-7.

OBU, 15-31 and 11-19, is tied for eighth-place with Arkansas Tech and Northwestern Oklahoma. The top eight teams advance to the GAC Tournament next weekend.
