SAN BRUNO - The 2025 West Coast Conference Baseball Tournament champions Saint Mary's heard its name called into the NCAA Tournament during Monday's selection show. The Gaels' berth is the 75th in the history of West Coast Conference Baseball.
Saint Mary's will compete in the Corvallis Regional to open the tournament against No. 8 seed Oregon State. The Gaels will be joined in the regional with USC and TCU who will face each other in the other first-round game in the regional.
SMC is 3-6-1 all-time vs. Oregon State and 0-3 all-time vs USC. The Gaels have never played TCU before.
The Gaels will be making their second appearance in the NCAA Tournament. In 2016, after winning the West Coast Conference Baseball Tournament Championship, Saint Mary's headed to the Raleigh Regional, battling Coastal Carolina and Navy in the Gaels' two games played that year.
In this past weekend's West Coast Conference Tournament, the No. 3 seed Gaels held off No. 1 seed San Diego, going to the if-necessary game for the first time in Conference history on Saturday, and the Gaels became Conference tournament champions for the second time in program history.
The NCAA Baseball Regionals will take place from May 30 - June 2, followed by the NCAA Super Regionals the following weekend before the NCAA College World Series will be held in Omaha, Neb., from June 13-23.
