Game Recap: Soccer | | Bobby Parker, Associate AD for Communications
PEORIA, IL – The Bradley soccer team fell to in-state rival DePaul on Friday night, losing, 2-1, at Shea Stadium. The Braves are now 1-3-0 on the year, while the Blue Demons improve to 3-1-0.
 
DePaul scored the first two goals of the game – netting early in both the first and second frames. Jack Richards opened the scoring as he knocked in a rebound in the 11th minute. Marek Gonda then doubled the Blue Demons' advantage in the 53rd minute when he redirected the ball in from close range.
 
Bradley would fight back, however. Minutes after the Braves had a penalty kick saved, Pepe Mellado stepped to the spot and finished in the game's 88th minute to pull BU within one – scoring his first collegiate goal. However, the Braves were unable to find the equalizer in the closing 140 seconds as DePaul preserved the 2-1 victory.
 
The Braves finished the game with a slight advantage in shots, 10-9, and corner kicks, 5-4. Senior Bryce Logan recorded five saves for BU in net.
 
Bradley continues its short two-game homestand against Utah Valley on Sunday afternoon with kickoff set for 1 p.m.
