KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The historic season for the Indiana Tech men's basketball team continues as they move on to the NAIA National Championship for the first time in program history. In the quarterfinal, which Tech has not reached since the 04-05 season, the Warriors took down the No. 1 seed in their quadrant Arizona Christian University 67-64.
 
Blake Davison led the way for the Warriors as he led all scoring with 18 points and grabbing 4 rebounds.  Josh Kline started the game on fire scoring 9 of the Warrior's first 11 points and finished the game with 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists. Rog Stein and Grant Smith both tallied 9 points in the win, with Stein and Cory McKinney grabbing 8 rebounds. The Warriors shot 44.0% from the field and 30.8% from beyond the three-point line.
 
A significant factor in the game was rebounding. The Orange and Black out rebounded the Firestorm 42-26 and scored 10 second-chance points while they allowed 0 by ACU. That was the difference maker in the tight contest as the points in the paint favored Tech by 2 points but balanced out with the Firestorm as they scored 2 more points off turnovers.
 
The Warriors now sit at a 31-4 record on the season, which amounts to the largest win total in program history. They look to add two more this weekend. They start with Georgetown College (Ky.) in the National Semifinals on Friday at 7 PM CT.
