The first two quarterfinal match-ups in the 2023 NCHC Play of the Year Tournament are up for fan voting on Monday. All four plays featured in Monday's quarterfinals are goals.

In the first quarterfinal match-up, Colorado College's Hunter McKown steals the puck from Omaha and goes between his legs for a goal in Week 11, while North Dakota freshman Jackson Blake dekes a Quinnipiac defender and dives for a goal in Week 3.

In the second quarterfinal match-up of the tournament, McKown scores with an unreal move on a penalty shot against Denver in Week 16, while Denver's Carter Mazur weaves through the North Dakota defense to score a diving goal in Week 18.

Winning our final two first-round match-ups were CC's Noah Serdachny and Miami's Max Dukovac. Serdachny knocked off Denver's Mike Benning with 73 percent of the vote, while Dukovac advanced to the quarterfinals with 56 percent of the vote over Western Michigan's Jason Polin. Serdachny and Dukovac will meet in a quarterfinal on April 4.

Videos for both of today's match-ups are below with the poll to vote below each video. Voting will remain open until Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET, when the last two quarterfinal match-ups will be posted and today's winners are announced. Today's quarterfinal winners move on to the semifinals on April 5. The entire bracket (with schedule) can be seen at the bottom of the page.
