Bradley soccer claims a win in 2024 season opener
Box Score Peoria, IL -- Bradley men's soccer opened the 2024 season with a 1-0 win against Chicago State. Bradley and Chicago State took turns with counterattacks in the first half, with the offense slightly favoring Chicago State as they out-shot the Braves 8-4 in the game's first 45 minutes. However, as both teams headed into the locker rooms, it was clear that the second half would not follow the same script. Bradley came out on the front foot in the second half, which helped them generate 12 second-half shots for a total of 16, with five on goal. That pressure eventually gave the Braves a great opportunity when they were awarded a penalty for a handball inside the penalty area. Kevin Mejias stepped up to the penalty spot for the Braves and slotted the ball into the bottom right corner to secure the game's lone goal. The Bradley defense saw the game out after defending multiple late corners from Chicago State. Drew Berry was able to claim the final threatening ball from the Cougars and secure the Bradley win. This win is the first for Tim Regan as head coach for the Braves soccer program.
