TEMPE, Ariz. -- For the first time in program history, Sun Devil Hockey is heading to the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Hockey Tournament as part of the Allentown Regional following a program-best 21-12-1 record in their third, full season of Division I competition. As the No. 3 seed in Allentown, the Sun Devils open up NCAA Tournament play against the No. 2 seed Quinnipiac on Saturday, March 30 at PPL Center. Time and TV information are TBD.
ASU becomes the first independent program to qualify for the NCAA Tournament since Alaska Anchorage in 1991-92.
