DETROIT, Mich. – The top-ranked Mercyhurst College women's hockey team kicks off postseason play this weekend at the 2010 College Hockey America Tournament, hosted by Wayne State University at the City Sports Arena in Detroit, Mich. 

The Lakers, who enter the tournament as the No. 1 seed by virtue of winning the CHA Regular Season Title, will play either No. 5 Robert Morris or No. 4 Wayne State in the first semifinal game on Friday, March 5 at 4 p.m. No. 3 Syracuse will take on No. 2 Niagara later that evening at 7 p.m. The winners of each game will then advance to the CHA Championship Game on Saturday, March 6 at 5 p.m.
