Braves Shining Bright
Junior Mitch Coughlon leads the team in goals with five, doubling his career number in Bradley's first 10 games this season. Coughlon's five goals are the fourth most by an individual in the Missouri Valley Conference this season. Couglon has done all this while averaging just 67 minutes a game for Bradley. 

The Braves' freshmen continue to make massive impacts on the season. Connor Chester has earned three goals in the last six games, five of his six shots being recorded on goal. Nokkvi Hjorvarsson scored in Bradley's first win and last game, as he leads the team in assists with three. Additionally, Olav Crovo and Luke Knotts have entered the game in major minutes for the Braves.

About the Opponent 
Clarence Awoudor may just have two goals, but he is the leader on the Knights' offense with nine assists, tied for the most in Division One soccer. Lilian Ricol leads the way for UCF with four goals, as Claudel N'goubou comes into Tuesday's match with three. Juanvi Muñoz has been the Knights' keeper in all 10 matches, registering four shutouts and a 1.20 goals against average. In the team's 10 games, six came against ranked opponents, including a 1-1 draw against South Florida and their most recent win, a 3-0 victory over the 11th-ranked Georgia Southern.

Florida History
This is the first time these two programs are meeting. The last time the Braves played a Florida team was 2011, when they beat the eighth-ranked South Florida 2-1 in overtime. All-time, the Braves are 3-0-0 against Florida teams, yet in the history of the program, they have never played a game in the Sunshine State.
