The Seawolves represented the University of Alaska Anchorage and were coached by Matt Thomas, in his 4th season.

After two subpar years, Alaska Anchorage was hoping to get back into the playoff picture.

Unfortunately, the team got off to a dreadful start; the Seawolves won just one of their first 14 games and found themselves at the bottom of the WCHA.

The team's outlook began to brighten in December when they won games in three separate weekends, including against ranked Bemidji State.

When the Nanooks won the first match, it ended any postseason hopes for Anchorage and a second defeat gave UAF their 8th consecutive Governor's Cup.
