FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The No. 9-ranked Indiana Tech men's lacrosse team opened up its home slate on Tuesday evening with an 18-9 victory over St. Ambrose University at Warrior Athletic Field.

The Warriors would outscore the visitors 4-2 in the second, including a goal from Chandler Peterson with one second on the clock, to send the hosts into the locker room up 9-5.
