Tri-City United is the top seed. They were scheduled to play either No. 8 Butterfield-Odin or No. 9 Crusaders on Thursday.
The remaining quarterfinal matches will pit No. 2 St. Peter against seventh-seeded Wings United and No. 4 Albert Lea versus fifth-seeded Fairmont.
Cannon Falls and SWC were originally scheduled to face each other during the regular season on Friday, Sept. 19; however, that match was scrubbed due to wet playing conditions.
