PK the Difference for Host ORU

TULSA, OK – Dante Brigida converted a penalty kick in the 65th minute and host Oral Roberts held Bradley without a shot on goal as the Golden Eagles (3-1-0) earned a 1-0 non-conference win against the Braves (1-2-0) Monday afternoon at Case Soccer Complex.

Brigida's game-winner was set up from consecutive corner kicks for Oral Roberts. As the Braves attempted to clear the second corner, an Oral Roberts player was upended going up for a header near the the top of the box, resulting in the penalty kick opportunity. The left-footed Brigida caught Bradley keeper Bryce Logan leaning toward the left post and he buried a low shot just inside the right post for the 1-0 lead at 63:48.
