Ohio State, which defeated Minnesota, 3-2 in overtime on Sunday to capture the WCHA women’s championship, will be the top overall seed in the newly-expanded Women’s National Collegiate ice hockey championship, it was announced during Sunday evening’s selection show.<\/p>\n

NCAA WOMEN’S NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ICE HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP BRACKET<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Buckeyes, second seed Minnesota and third seed Northeastern will each host three-team regionals with the higher seed awaiting the winner of a first-round game in the regional final. Each regional will include a day off between the first-round game and regional final.<\/p>\n

Colgate, the ECAC champion and fourth overall seed, is the only host of a single-game regional, and they will face Yale in a rematch of the ECAC final, with a direct bid to the Frozen Four on the line.<\/p>\n

This is the first year of the expanded Women’s NC tournament, moving from eight teams to 11 after a vote by the NCAA in December.<\/p>\n

Below is a complete schedule of the regional tournament. The four remaining teams at the conclusion of the regional tournament will participate in the Women’s Frozen Four, March 18-20, at Penn State’s Pegula Ice Arena.<\/p>\n
