Last Time Out: Bradley 1, Evansville 0

• In a game filled with action, the University of Evansville men's soccer could not capitalize on chances in a 1-0 defeat to Bradley on the road in Eureka, Ill.
• "It was a battle today. It was a typical Valley game against a very organized and determined Bradley team," said Aces head men's soccer coach Marshall Ray. "We responded well to giving up a goal early. We came back and were able to get ourselves back in the match late in the first half and I thought in the second half we really created a lot of trouble for Bradley, creating chances and able to push them a little more into their own half."
• Bradley struck early for a goal in the 14th minute as a cross in front of the face of the goal by Daniel Chandler found Gerit Wintermeyer at the back post to direct it in and give the Braves the 1-0 advantage.
• Both teams continued to create chances throughout the opening half as the Braves entered halftime with a 5-4 lead in shots.
• The second half started inversely the first half with Evansville coming out on the offensive.
• The Aces recorded three shots in close succession in the first 15 minutes of the second half, including a shot by junior Davis Peck that was saved in the 54th minute.
• The Aces got a boost in the 75th minute as Bradley went down to 10 men after a straight red card was assessed to the Braves.
• Following the red card, Evansville's offense again found a spark.
• Just a minute later, the Aces put a shot on frame as senior Filip Johansson had his shot saved.
• In the 82nd minutes, sophomore Jakub Hall was brought down in the box and freshman Pablo Guillen stepped to the spot for the penalty.
• Guillen's attempt narrowly skimmed off the post and bounced out.
• Evansville continued its offensive attack in the final five minutes, recording five more shots.
• Guillen sent a shot with pace on goal in the 89th minute that was saved by Bradley.
• The ball rebounded back to sophomore Nkosi Graham who headed the shot back towards goal, but had his shot saved.
• The Aces out-shot the Braves, 15-7, on the afternoon with six shots on-goal to just two for Bradley.
