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.
