The East Regional in Albany gets underway today with top-seeded Quinnipiac facing RIT at 4 p.m., followed by Yale against UMass Lowell at 7:30 p.m. The regional final is scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.

The West Regional commences today in St. Paul, Minn. with St. Cloud State taking on Ferris State at 3 p.m. The nightcap will feature Boston University against Denver at 6:30 p.m., with the two Saturday winners to skate in the regional final on Sunday at 5 p.m.
