Women’s soccer Horizon League Championship win over Detroit – Nov. 8, 2014

- With so many great accomplishments in the books from the 2014 campaign, the Crusader women’s soccer team still needed a win in the Horizon League title match to reach the ultimate goal – the NCAA Tournament. And Valpo did it in style, as tournament MVP April Cronin found the back of the net in the 84th minute at Brown Field for the match-winning goal in a 1-0 win over Detroit for the tournament championship. The Crusader defense, which led the way all season long, was at its best, surrendering just two shots to the Titans as Valpo extended its school-record winning streak to 12 matches and earned its 12th clean sheet of the year.

Men’s basketball Horizon League Championship win vs. Green Bay – Mar. 10, 2015

- Down by 10 with two minutes to go in the first half, playing without one starting guard, and losing another with injury for a stretch during the opening period. Given opportunities where it could have folded, the Valparaiso men’s basketball team did what it had done all season long – stepped up to the challenge. The Crusaders scored the final two baskets of the first half and then dominated the second half, outscoring Green Bay 35-19 to earn a 54-44 victory and claim the 2015 Horizon League Championship. A driving layup by E. Victor Nickerson with the shot clock winding down and 1:02 to play proved to be the dagger, while David Skara led the way with 12 points off the bench.
