EVANSVILLE, IN – Bradley freshman Caroline Waite drained six 3-pointers on the way to a team-high 18 points, but host Evansville (7-6, 1-1 MVC) scored five straight points as the clock dipped under 1-minute to play to pull out a 74-73 win against the visiting Braves (3-8, 0-2 MVC) Friday night at the cozy Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Although game statistics currently are unavailable, Bradley's cold shooting from the free throw line and inability to secure a late defensive rebound opened the door for Evansville's final push.

Not only was Bradley playing its first game since the end of the 2016-17 season without the program's all-time scoring leader and 3-point shooter, fifth-year senior guard Gabi Haack, the Braves also were without one of its top newcomers, junior forward Sierra Morrow, due to COVID protocols. Waite picked up the scoring and long-range shooting void by equaling the team's single-game high with six 3-pointers. Her six triples were the most by a Bradley player in a regular-season MVC game since Haack drained six at Evansville Jan. 16, 2021.

Bradley will play on the road for the eighth time in nine games when the Braves return to action Sunday at noon CT at Indiana State. The Braves then will play six of their next eight games at home, beginning Thursday night (6:30 p.m.) against Loyola Chicago at Renaissance Coliseum.
