SERIES HISTORY
Tuesday's game will be the sixth meeting in the all-time series and Milwaukee owns a 3-1-1 series edge against the Braves ... Bradley started the current, 2-year home-and-home agreement with a 1-0 victory Sept. 6, 2015 at Shea Stadium ... Prior to Bradley's victory last year, the most-recent meeting between the teams came in the first round of the 2005 NCAA Tournament and resulted in a 2-0 Panthers victory at Shea Stadium.

O-FOR-WISCONSIN
Bradley visits Milwaukee Tuesday night in search of its first-ever win in the state of Wisconsin ... Including an 0-2-0 road record against the Panthers, Bradley is 0-6-0 all-time in the Badger State ... The Braves have played four different teams on the road in the neighboring state to the north: Green Bay (0-1-0), Milwaukee (0-2-0), Wisconsin (0-2-0) and UW-Parkside (0-1-0).

OLSON SPARKS THE O
Junior forward Richard Olson played a direct role in two of Bradley's three goals last week, registering one goal and one assist to claim the team's scoring lead as the only Brave with more than one goal ... Olson's re-entry into the lineup in the 77th minute in Tuesday's game against Western Illinois kick-started Bradley's offense and the immediate pressure led to the team's late scoring flurry against the Leathernecks ... In addition to scoring Bradley's tying goal Saturday at Missouri State, Olson also appeared to put the Braves ahead in the 73rd minute by converting a penalty kick, but the goal was waved off due to players from both teams entering the penalty area early and his re-kick was saved.

SPREADING THE WEALTH
Bradley's eight goals through nine games have come from seven different players ... Junior Richard Olson (2) is the only player on the team with more than one goal ... Seven players, including Olson, also have registered one assist ... Although the Braves have tallied just eight goals in the first nine games, 10 different players have at least one point so far this year.

TAYLOR'S TIME
Junior defender Jacob Taylor has played every second of Bradley's last 11 games dating back to last season ... Taylor has not come off the field since Nov. 3, 2015 when he played 74 of the 90 minutes against Western Michigan, who the Braves will visit Tuesday ... Taylor and senior GK Logan Ketterer are the only two Braves to play every minute of Bradley's first nine games in 2016.

LOOKING AHEAD
Bradley will conclude its season-long, 3-game road swing Saturday, when the Braves visit Western Michigan in non-conference action ... The Broncos (7-2-0) also play Tuesday, hosting MVC foe Drake in a 4 p.m. tilt at WMU Soccer Complex ... Western Michigan owns a 4-3-0 lead in a series that has seen six of the previous seven meetings, including each of the last five, decided by one goal.
