FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Indiana Tech ACHA Division 1 men's ice hockey cruised to its third consecutive victory to being the 2016-17 season on Friday night at the SportONE/Parkview Icehouse with an 8-0 win over Indiana.
 
Brett Lervold and Joe Molfetta each netted two goals apiece in the win, while Anthony Passarelli and Adam Jonak tallied two assists each. Zach Larson would benefit from a strong defensive performance from his teammates while making 13 saves for his first shutout of the season. Ryan Theisen led the team in faceoff wins with 12 while Nick Denice had eight.
 
The two sides would play a very clean and even first period before a boarding penalty on Chad Frost at 2:55 would give the Hoosiers the power play, but the Warriors would be the beneficiaries as Denice would clean up a rebound opportunity at 1:16 to put the hosts on the board with the 1-0 lead.
 
The Orange and Black would then strike on the power play in the second as Zack Morlock notched his second goal of the season at 12:55. The Warriors would then score their second power play goal at 19:07 in the third as Molfetta buried one in the back of the net off the dish from Jonak.
 
The rout would be on just 47 seconds later as Lervold scored his fifth goal of the season to make it a 4-0 game before notching his second goal of the game at the 8:36 mark. Molfetta, Chad Frost and Brian Skillicorn would add the other tallies for the Warriors.
 
Tech (3-0-0) concludes its weekend set with Indiana on Saturday evening at the SportONE/Parkview Icehouse, with puck drop set for 5:30 p.m.
