Alaska-Anchorage gets the automatic #10 seed, and plays at Minnesota-Duluth.
First round action consists of best-of three series, March 12-14:
#10 at #1 #8 at #3 #6 at #5
#9 at #2 #7 at #4
The five winners advance to the single-elimination WCHA Playoff
Championship tournament in the St. Paul Civic Center, March 18-20.
#5 plays #4 on Thursday evening. On Friday #2 plays #3, and #1 plays
the winner of the #5 vs. #4 game. The championship and 3rd place games
are played on Saturday.
