    Tournament Champion: Mercyhurst

    Note: * denotes overtime period(s)

    The Tournament MVP was Mercyhurst Goaltender Kennedy Blair.[2], making 31 saves in the overtime championship game.

    Syracuse Junior Forward Victoria Klimek, Penn State Junior Natalie Heising, Mercyhurst Junior Forward Summer-Rae Dobson, Robert Morris Senior Defender Sarah Lecavalier, and Mercyhurst Freshman Defender Jordan Mortlock joined Blair on the 2020 All-Tournament Team.

    The Tournament Champion earns a berth in the NCAA Tournament to determine the national champion. The Mercyhurst Lakers were the number 8 seed out of 8 in the tournament, and were set to face #1 seed Cornell on March 14, in Ithaca, New York prior to the cancellation.

    gollark: Do you want to conserve the rare resources (dark oak) or reduce crafting time?
    gollark: Stuff like "should 8 dark oak planks or 1000 oak logs be used" is also a problem.
    gollark: Of course not.
    gollark: <@236831708354314240> The issue is that it's ridiculously hard to figure out how to best get what you want from what you have.
    gollark: Like autocrafting something in Minecraft given a list of crafting recipes and items.
