A look at NCAA Division II conference races

* Conference Carolinas: North Greenville and Young Harris are tied for first at 22-6. If the teams finish the season tied, North Greenville has the head-to-head tiebreaker.  Erskine (15-12) has qualified for the 10-team tournament. Francis Marion (8-20), King (7-21) and Southern Wesleyan (7-21) are vying for the final two spots.

* Peach Belt Conference: Lander (19-6) has clinched the regular-season championship and top seed for the eight-team tournament. USC Aiken (8-16) has a one-game lead over USC Beaufort (7-17)  for the final spot. The winner of their head-to-head series qualifies for the tournament. North Georgia College had three conference games nullified. I can't find an explanation.

* South Atlantic Conference: Catawba (22-6) clinched the regular-season title with a win over Wingate Friday night. Coker (18-10) and Wingate (18-10) are tied for second, with Coker holding the head-to-head tiebreaker. Newberry (16-12) is in a three-way fifth, but could finish as high as a tie for second. Limestone (14-14) is in ninth, but must win its final two games and get some help. Anderson can not make the tournament.
