As you are probably aware the NCAA National Collegiate Tournament is a two weekend process that begins next weekend with the top four seeds hosting quarterfinal match ups. The winning teams then move on to Erie, Pennsylvania and the 2011 Women's Frozen Four. The highest seeded team remaining will play the lowest seed in the first semifinal with the two median seeds playing the second semifinal. The two advancing teams will meet in the National Championship game on March 20th at 2pm.
