My proposed solution to your the quarter final matchups problem is to
A) swap the #3 seeds
B) swap 5 and 6 in the east regional.
that gives
At Munn At Albany
1W Colorado College 1E Boston University
2W Michigan 2E Vermont
3W Minnesota 3E Lake Superior
4W Michigan State 4E Western Michigan
5W Cornell 5E Clarkson
6W Providence 6E Mass Lowell
Michigan State Lake Superior
Cornell Mass Lowell
Colorado College Vermont
Minnesota Western Michigan
Providence Clarkson
Michigan Boston University
