LINDENWOOD UNIVERSITY

 “CHAMPIONS AWARD”

Lindenwood University’s athletic teams continued on a roll in 2013 with it’s roller hockey and shotgun teams again capturing national championships.

Roller Hockey – National Championships (2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008, 2010, 2013)

The year was 2002 and the Lindenwood Roller hockey program was in its third year and began one of the best and longest national title runs in the country. During the 2001-2002 regular season the Lions were 25-2. Then the Lions defeated the Michigan State Spartans in the national championship game.

The championship was the first for the program and laid the groundwork for one of the most successful programs in the country. Lindenwood went undefeated in 2003 and continued its winning run the next five years, winning the national championship from 2004 to 2008. With a one-year break, they came back in 2010 and 2013 to make it nine national titles!

Shotgun Sports – National Championships (2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013). In the history of collegiate sports, only a handful of teams have won 10 consecutive national championships – at any level. Lindenwood shotgun sports is an esteemed member of that list. Lindenwood shotgun sports compete in American trap, American skeet, Olympic trap, international skeet, and sporting clays. Coach Shawn Dulohery says the event that sets the national championship winning tone is international skeet.

Over the past 10 years Lindenwood student–athletes have occupied 75 of the 150 National Rifle Associations All–American positions. In addition, the Lindenwood shotgun athletes have accumulated these awards as well:

• 10 national championship team awards from 2004 – 2013

• 81 individual national titles

The Lindenwood shotgun sports team also has had one student athlete represent Team USA in the 2008 Olympic Games in Bejing, China.

Coach Dulohery, meanwhile, has won five world championships and has also competed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
