FORT WAYNE, Ind. – On Thursday morning, the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference released the 2024 conference awards for men's soccer. Indiana Tech would see a flurry of awards come their way as 15 Warriors earn WHAC accolades this season.

Graduate student Tiago Dias would be named both the WHAC Defender of the Year as well as the WHAC Newcomer of the Year.
