Note:
GDA fans aren't thrilled that their team is playing in the fifth place game when they had a better record than Tabor, which will be playing in the fifth place game. However, GDA's "better record" includes a shootout win, which isn't really a win. Such wins, according to the tournament rules, are to be "used for seeding purposes only."
The tie-breaking system gives two points for a win, and one point for a tie, hence UCC (1-0-2) finishes with four points and Tabor and GDA each finish with an identical 1-1-1 record (good for three points).
According to the rules, "If two teams finish with the same number of points, the seeding will be determined by the winner of the head-to-head game between the two teams. "
However, on Friday afternoon Tabor beat GDA 3-2 in a regulation win, hence Tabor finishes higher.
