Either Alaska-Fairbanks or Northern Michigan would have been the seventh western team, but Harvard’s improbable win, coupled with Cornell’s dominating ECAC campaign, placed two ECAC teams in the NCAA bracket. The Crimson’s win was especially bitter for Alaska-Fairbanks, which could have earned its first-ever NCAA berth...
