Last Time Out
The Braves fought hard in a 2-2 draw to DePaul. The Blue Demons struck with a pair at the 21st and 27th minutes. Freshman Connor Chester came off the bench to score his second and third goals of the season, finding the back of the net at the 31st and 55th minute marks. Chester's second-half kick was the final point to go on the board. On top of the first 11 for Bradley, eight joined the team off the bench as substitutions, including the two-time goal scorer and sophomore Amari Fowlkes, who notched one of the three assists on the two Chester goals.

Bradley's Strong Starters
The Braves hit the road searching for their first outright win in their Missouri Valley Conference season. Junior Mitch Coughlon leads the team in goals with five, doubling his career number in Bradley's first 10 games this season. Senior Drew Berry has played every second in net for the Braves, with the Valley's second-best saves a game at 4.73. Recently, Berry earned his second MVC Defensive Player of the Week honor. Senior Michael Switala and Chester each have three goals, with junior DJ Koulai scoring a pair of penalty kicks.

About the Opponent 
The Falcons have also yet to win a conference game of their own, falling to Evansville and Belmont. Despite the record, Bowling Green has beaten Wright State, Michigan State, DePaul, and Northern Kentucky. They've played one ranked team, drawing 18th-ranked Kentucky. This is a different team compared to last year, as they were nationally ranked entering their match against the Braves. In their second year in the Valley, the Falcons finished 3rd, falling in overtime to Evansville in the conference championship.

The Falcons are led by Trace Terry, who has recorded six of the team's 11 goals. He has three game winners and leads the team in minutes with 1,069. Bennett Painter has the second most goals and minutes, with four and 1,027.

Series History
The series is as split as can be, with the overall games evened at two; the two programs have also gone 1-1 respectively at each stadium. This will be the third time the Braves have traveled to Bowling Green, the first dating back to 1996. The largest margin of victory in the series came in 1999, when the Braves earned a 4-1 win. Last time in Cochrane Stadium, Bradley fell 3-1 to the Falcons. Last year, Bowling Green entered Peoria ranked 24th in the Nation. Kevin Meijas scored in the 58th minute to tie the game, yet a 86th-minute goal from Bowling Green gave the Falcons a victory.
