Blake Schalm | Lawrence Tech University | Aug 13, 2025

The Lawrence Tech University Blue Devils are gearing up for an exciting season in the WHAC, with their first game scheduled at home against Kentucky Christian University on October 24, 2025. Under the guidance of head coach Joshua Pickens, now entering his 9th season with a career record of 94-119, the team aims to build on last year's achievements which included hosting their first WHAC Conference tournament game.

Last season, the Blue Devils concluded with a strong record of 16-12, displaying a commendable performance of 14-6 in conference play. This season, coach Pickens and the Blue Devils are motivated to push further, despite the departure of key players Cameron McEvans, Aaron Dolny, and Jimmy Salamone, who were pivotal in scoring last season. Returning players Luka Uzelac, Davin Walker, and Gregory Wilkinson are expected to step up and fill the gaps left by their departing teammates.

The team's schedule is packed with notable games including a participation in the Bernie Holowicki Classic in early November and challenging encounters with Madonna University, with whom they have established a competitive rivalry. Matches at the Don Ridler Field House will undoubtedly be a focal point for team performances, especially during critical conference games. Further into the season, matchups against formidable opponents like Spring Arbor University and Indiana Tech highlight the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the Blue Devils.
