College draft
The collegiate draft occurred on April 23 and was broadcast on NBCSN at 6:00 PM EDT. It was hosted by sportscaster Paul Burmeister with help from draft analyst Ryan Boyle. A draft lottery was released on the league's YouTube channel on April 8 to determine the top six picks.
Format:
- Each club was awarded four picks.
- The draft order was selected at random and reversed each round until the draft was completed. (The first team with the first pick went last in round two, giving the team who went last in round one to go first in round two). A one-minute countdown clock was started for picks.
- Eligible players must currently be in their senior season.
- No current picks could be traded for picks in a future draft.
- No trading of players already on rosters for draft picks.

After halftime, the Whipsnakes continued their goal streak with a 4–0 run. However, being down by 7 goals, the Redwoods mounted an amazing comeback when they scored 6 goals (including a 2-point shot), pulling within 2 points if the Whipsnakes (10–8) in the third quarter.
The fourth quarter saw the Redwoods tie it up with 5:49 left to play. Then the Redwoods scored one more to pull ahead. But local product and league MVP Matt Rambo tied it with just 21.2 seconds remaining. The Whipsnakes won it in overtime and Rambo who scored the winning goal earned the Championship MVP.
