FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The University's No. 17-ranked Warriors came into the weekend riding high—having just swept the Michigan‑Dearborn Wolverines, including an overtime victory at home last week. With that momentum and their top-20 status secured, Indiana Tech entered this match up full of confidence.

The Indiana Tech Men's hockey team delivered an all-around strong performance on Friday night, skating past Lawrence University with a commanding 5–1 victory. Indiana Tech struck first midway through the opening period when Ryan Doucette found the back of the net at 6:34, assisted by Mason Bazaluk, giving the Warriors an early 1–0 lead they would never hand over.

The offense stayed hot in the second frame, Malik Ali extended the lead early with help from Doucette and Isaiah Gagerman, putting the Warriors up 2–0. Lawrence would momentarily close the gap with a goal at 4:08, but Indiana Tech responded quickly and decisively. Joey Mocnik, set up beautifully by Zane Myler, restored the two-goal cushion just over a minute later to make it 3–1.

The Warriors carried that momentum into the final frame, where Ian Vannelli capitalized on a setup from Ali and Bazaluk at 5:55, pushing the score to 4–1. Michael Dalaly sealed the deal in the closing minutes with a late tally off an assist from Mocnik at 18:58, capping off a complete team effort.
