Due to the unique circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee approved consolidating the NCAA Division I bowling, women’s volleyball and women\u2019s hockey national championships to one location each in the spring of 2021.<\/p>\n

The changes are based on the medical guidance of converting all rounds of the championships to predetermined sites and reducing the overall number of sites.<\/p>\n

All eight teams participating in the women’s hockey NCAA tournament would travel to Erie, Pa., to compete at Erie Insurance Arena March 15-21.<\/p>\n

Selections for the championship would be announced March 7.<\/p>\n

Two of the quarterfinal games would be conducted March 15, while the remaining two quarterfinal games would be held March 16.<\/p>\n

The semifinals of the women\u2019s Frozen Four would take place March 19, followed by the national championship game March 21.<\/p>\n

The proposal still has to be approved by the NCAA Division I Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
