Out of the MVC Tournament: After their recent 1-0 defeat against Evansville on Oct. 27, Bradley finds themselves in a challenging position with no opportunity to qualify for the tournament. Even if Bradley secures a win and both of their competitors, Evansville and NIU, face losses, Bradley's direct losses to both teams provide Evansville and NIU with the advantage needed to secure a playoff spot.
