One quarterfinal is already set, as #4 UConn (20-10-4/12-8-4 HE) repeats its highest-ever finish and will face off with #5 Providence (21-9-5/11-8-5 HE) on Friday, March 14 at 7:00 p.m. on NESN.

Top-seeded Boston College (26-6-2/18-4-2 HE) claimed the Hockey East Regular Season crown for the second straight year and the 19th time in program history.
