June 15, 2013

For Immediate Release

Fort Wayne, Ind. – Indiana Tech will bring collegiate hockey to Fort Wayne with the addition of a men’s ice hockey team in fall 2014. The Warriors will play in the American Collegiate Hockey Association.

“This is a great opportunity for us to expand our athletic programs with a sport that has a passionate following in this area,” said Arthur E. Snyder, president of Indiana Tech. “The chance to continue competing in a sport they love can be a great motivator for a student to succeed in college, and there aren’t a lot of options for young hockey players to do that.”

A search for a head coach is under way, and the university will recruit student-athletes for a 40-man roster to begin play in fall 2014. Potential opponents include Davenport University, Lawrence Tech, Aquinas College, Calvin College, and Hope College.

“We’re looking forward to developing partnerships with Canlan Ice Sports, the Fort Wayne Area High School Hockey Association, the Komets, and other hockey organizations in the community,” Snyder said.

The scope of Warrior athletics has grown steadily in recent years. In addition to the new ice hockey team, Indiana Tech programs include band, baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s bowling, coed cheer, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s track and field, women’s volleyball, and wrestling.

Fort Wayne, Ind. – Indiana Tech added to its already incredibly successful year on Thursday when the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) released the final standings of the 2012-13 NAIA Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. The Warriors, who were ranked 21st after the first spring standings, rose five spots to No. 16, the highest finish in school history.

It was the second consecutive top-25 finish for the Warriors who racked up 485.75 points, topping last year’s total of 440.00 that garnered a 22nd place finish.

Oklahoma Baptist University claimed its first NAIA Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup after compiling 964.00 points, scoring in 14 sports and winning four national titles.

Tech captured two national championships, the first two in school history, and scored in six sports. In addition to the 232.75 points earned by the men’s and women’s indoor track & field teams and the wrestling team during the winter season, the men’s and women’s outdoor track & field teams claimed 100 points apiece for their national titles while baseball collected 53 more to vault the Warriors up the standings.

The Warriors also had the best finish among Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference members after passing Aquinas College who ended at No. 19. Two other WHAC schools joined Tech and Aquinas in the top-50. Davenport University came in at No. 34 and Cornerstone University at No. 38.

June 13, 2013

For Immediate Release

Fort Wayne, Ind. – The Indiana Tech athletic department continues to demonstrate its commitment to academic excellence with a record number of student-athletes receiving conference and national recognition in 2012-13.

Not only have the athletes at Indiana Tech been getting it done on the field, claiming two national titles and several conference championships this past year, but they are also excelling in the classroom. Ninety-one (91) student-athletes qualified as Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference All-Academic performers while 61 Warriors qualified for the NAIA Scholar-Athlete honor. Both numbers are school records.

To be named to the WHAC All-Academic Team an athlete must be a junior or above in academic standing with at least a 3.25 grade point average and to qualify as an NAIA Scholar-Athlete they must maintain a 3.5 or above GPA.

In addition to the individual honors, 11 Warrior teams were honored by the NAIA with Scholar-Team Awards in 2011-12 for having a team GPA of 3.0. This year’s honors will be announced later this summer.

In a recent study by PayScale.com, “2013 College Education ROI Rankings: Does a Degree Always Pay Off?”, Indiana Tech was one of four Indiana institutions that ranked in the top-100 placing 87th out of more than 1,500 schools.
