St. Cloud State will face Ferris State University on Saturday at 3:00 PM. The winner of that match will face the winner of the game between Boston University and the University of Denver that will occur at 6:30 PM EST on Saturday.

Midwest Region

N. 1 seed North Dakota will square off against the fourth-seeded Northeastern on Friday at 2:00 PM EST.

Northeast Region

Providence will face the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Boston College and Harvard will square off for the honor of facing either Providence or Minnesota-Duluth.
