Bradley Soccer Draws Dayton, 0-0

[Bobby Parker]

DAYTON, Ohio ??“ The Bradley defense turned in a dominating performance and the Braves offense provided plenty of pressure, but could not break through as a deep Bradley squad battled host Dayton to a scoreless draw in exhibition men??™s soccer action Thursday afternoon at Baujan Field.

Experimenting with a number of different player combinations, Bradley head coach Jim DeRose used 23 players in Thursday??™s scrimmage.

The complete game recap is available here: http://www.bradleybraves.com/ViewArt...DB_OEM_ID=3400

Bradley will open the 2011 regular season with a 2-game road swing through Indiana, where they will visit defending Horizon League champion Butler Aug. 26 and IPFW Aug. 28. The defending Missouri Valley Conference Tournament champion, Bradley will open the home schedule by hosting former Valley rival Eastern Illinois Sept. 1 and Horizon League member Green Bay Sept. 3.

but it sounds like Bradley definitely dominated play although never could find the back of the net...

an 11-0 advantage in shots in the first half when both teams were largely playing their starters, then a 22-7 (only two on goal) advantage overall in shots is pretty awesome!
GO Braves - and thanks Bobby!

Can we post BU soccer scores on the bball page? I'd rather see these soccer posts then the posts about the Illini and their basketball team any day of the week.

OK, good idea. We usually do, and there have been a couple who criticized that. I think BP was just being a good poster.
