BP points out that a fairly sizeable Bradley contingent outnumbers the Marquette crowd!

Bradley goes up 1-0

per BP


"Kaboom! Grant Bell puts the Braves on the board with beauty of a header
from right flank service from Morales at 5:47. 1-0 #BRADvMARQ"


then a few minutes later Bradley gets whistled on a hand ball in the box and Marquette converts...so it's 1-1

Marquette goes up 2-1 in the 19th minute

Now halftime with Marquette leading 3-1.

The Braves make a great late comeback with goals in the 77th and 90th minutes to end with a 3-3 tie.

nice late rally to salvage a tie..
suggestion - all exhibitions ought to go straight to PK's - the teams would benefit from the experience - and isn't that what exhibitions are for?
