Kaufman, a 6-foot sophomore and a member of the UH volleyball team, set an NCAA provisional mark in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 11.5 inches at the Northern Arizona Classic on Saturday.
The jump was a UH indoor record and is a WAC best this season.
Kaufman won a gold medal in the high jump at last year's WAC outdoor championships and was fifth in the NCAA championships in that event.
Maryknoll and University have already earned spots in the tournament for finishing in first and second in the regular season. The league's fourth representative will be determined on Friday.
Alves, of Casa Branca, Brazil, averaged 24.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in two road wins over Hawaii-Hilo last week. BYUH is 18-1 and 8-0 in the PacWest.
Courtney Kessell pitched the Sea Warriors to victory in the first game by striking out six and giving up just one earned run in a complete game. BYUH's Katresha Veazie also gave up a single earned run, but the Seasiders were undone by costly errors in the sixth inning.
In the second game, Maile Kim led the Sea Warriors offensively by going 2-for-4 with three RBIs. Krystal Plunkett added two RBIs and went 2-for-4. Kahealani Alohikea-Betham drove in the Seasiders' only run.
