Spring Opponents Breakdown
BU's spring slate will provide a chance to gain some early momentum with games against familiar programs in Western Illinois and Eastern Illinois, both teams Bradley has played in each of their last two regular seasons. Bradley will also get a chance to meet up with a fellow MVC rival in SIU Edwardsville. The remainder of Bradley's spring will consist of two games against Indian Hills Community College from Ottumwa, IA, as well as Illinois Central College when they make the short trip from East Peoria to Shea Stadium.

Additions to the Missouri Valley Conference
The Valley was busy this offseason adding Bowling Green, Western Michigan, and Northern Illinois from the MAC to join the MVC's soccer ranks. This move increases the MVC's men's soccer membership to 10 teams, increasing from seven teams this past season. This move comes on the heels of last off-season's additions of Belmont and UIC's men's soccer programs. Bradley is coming off a season in which it made it to the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament semifinals, losing to the eventual champion Missouri State.
