VALPARAISO, IN – Redshirt junior forward TJ Rea (Peoria, IL/Notre Dame HS) scored his first career goal in the 109th minute, lifting Bradley (2-3-3, 1-1-1 MVC) to a 2-1 victory at Valparaiso (2-6-1, 1-3-0 MVC) Tuesday night at Brown Field.
Tuesday's game was a last-minute reschedule after Sunday's Missouri Valley Conference matchup between the two teams was cancelled in the 66th minute due to persistent lightning in the Peoria area. The teams will return to Peoria for the rematch Oct. 27.
Bradley came into the game averaging 11.3 shots per game, but the Braves unleashed a consistent attack against Valparaiso Tuesday night, finishing the game with a 26-10 advantage in shots.
