ECAC champion St. Lawrence University has withdrawn from the NCAA mens hockey tournament after head coach Brent Brekke tested positive for COVID-19.
The conferences automatic berth will instead be awarded to runner-up Quinnipiac.
The ECAC announced the development a day after St. Lawrence clinched its first tournament bid since 2007 by beating Quinnipiac 3-2 in overtime in the championship game.
Brekke described the past 24 hours as a roller-coaster of emotions, and says the team is shaking our heads in disbelief.
St. Lawrence was the conferences third-seeded team and upset the ECACs regular-season champion.
