Assiniboine College (19-8-0)Asssiniboine College has the third seed in the West. They are coming into the playoffs after splitting a pair with the University of Minnesota-Duluth (10-11-3) on Feb. 17th and 18th.

Coach’s Corner“Everyone is excited about nationals and a little nervous,” said head coach Brent Bailey. “We don’t know what we are going to see from some different opponents, but we can’t wait to get to Columbus. We know Assiniboine pretty well, after playing them at the Lakehead Challenge Cup, we know that they are a great team and our history against them makes the preparation a little easier. Our first game against Adrian we will be going in kinda blind having never played them or ever seen them play. For Loyola Chicago, I will be able to watch their first two games and get a better sense of them, so we should be really prepared.”
