FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Winter and spring competitions are both in full swing for the Indiana Tech Warriors, as winter sports continue their postseason pushes while spring teams are already building momentum or the season ahead. With athletes competing, improving, and preparing for key matchups, the Warriors are focused on finishing strong in winter and starting the spring with purpose. The Warriors currently have 12 active programs represented in the latest polls or receiving votes.

Wrapping up the winter season, both men's and women's basketball continued postseason action as they wrapped up WHAC Tournament games and now get set for the NAIA National Tournament next weekend. Both programs are also receiving votes in the national polls, highlighting the strong and consistent seasons each team has put together.

The women's basketball team closed out an impressive regular season by clinching their fifth straight WHAC regular season title with a statement win over Madonna on Taylor Covington's Senior Day. Covington has been a dominant force all season, leading the team in points, three-pointers, and assists, proving to be a true all-around leader on the court resulting in her winning WHAC Player of the Year for a second straight season. The Warriors have also received major contributions from playmakers such as Ryan Moorer, Jaidyn Gulley, and Gabby Ritchie, whose energy and consistency have provided key sparks throughout the season. The Warriors continued their strong run by winning the WHAC Tournament title on their home court, defeating Rochester Christian University to claim the championship on Monday night.

The men's basketball team also served as one of the host sites for the WHAC Tournament. They finished second in the conference regular season with an impressive 17–5 record in league play. In their opening tournament matchup against Cornerstone, the Warriors secured a dominant win to advance to the next round, where they fell to Rochester Christian. However, their season continues as the team received an automatic bid to the NAIA Tournament. For the men, Jaxson Fugate was named WHAC Player of the Year after an outstanding season on both ends of the floor. He led the team in points, rebounds, and blocks, showcasing his defensive presence and offensive consistency as a true leader for the Warriors. He has been complemented by other key contributors like Blake Davison, Logan Beaston, and Eric Hobson, whose physicality, scoring ability, and all-around play have added depth and strength to the lineup throughout the season.

Softball started its season with a bang, shutting out Campbellsville University in Kentucky with an 8–0 mercy-rule victory. Although they dropped the rest of the weekend's games, finishing 1–3, the Warriors bounced back at home with a hard-fought 9–7 win over Huntington University. Most recently, the Indiana Tech Warriors softball team picked up a doubleheader sweep over the Grace College Lancers, winning 5–0 in Game 1 and 5–3 in Game 2. In the opener, Savannah Bravo dominated in the circle, throwing a complete-game no-hitter with 11 strikeouts. The Warriors backed her with 12 hits, including a home run from Kiersten Delaney.

The Indiana Tech men's wrestling team hosted the 2026 WHAC Championships with eight schools coming to Fort Wayne for the event. Tech would finish the tournament as runners-up as Marian claimed the title.
