Cornerstone entered the tournament as the #4 seed and defeated Concordia University at home in their tournament opener and upset the regular season champions Aquinas in the semi-finals to earn their way to the championship game.  Indiana Tech finished their regular season as the #2 seed and have held strong on their home court with victories over Davenport and #3 Madonna.

The Warriors came out strong in the first half lighting up the nets on offense.  Tech shot 64% from the floor including 8 of 13 three pointers for 62% behind the arc.  As a result, the Warriors were able to build up an 18 point lead at the end of the first half.  The second half started out to look like a repeat of the first when the Warriors came out and continued to build the lead up as much as 24 points.  Cornerstone would make a small run in the last five minutes but would not get any closer than 13 points.  Cornerstone finished their season with a record of 17-16 and was led by All-WHAC First Team member Matt Kingshott with 19 points.

Warriors All-WHAC second team member Anthony Jones led Tech with 18 at the half before finishing with 23 to lead all scorers.  Jones was 7 of 9 from the floor for the night with 5 three pointers all in the first half.  Anthony Johnson scored 20 points to add to Tech’s offensive momentum.  In all, the Warriors had 5 players in double figures including Time Browning with 16 points, Brad Webster and Clyde McKinney each with 13.

After struggling during their non-conference season, the Warriors have rebounded and improved their record to 21-12 and have built momentum heading into the national tournament after winning their last 10 games including the conference championship title.
