EDWARDSVILLE, IL - Bradley freshmen Donald Link and Ado Jahic combined to record their first career points on a 65th minute goal, but it was not enough to overcome a fast start by the host Cougars as SIU Edwardsville (7-4-3, 3-1-1 MVC) earned a 3-1 Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer victory versus Bradley (2-11-3, 0-5-1) Saturday night at Korte Stadium.
The hosts scored twice inside the game's first six minutes, then tacked on an own goal in the 44th minute to build a commanding lead. Ivan Gutierrez's strike just 1-minute, 2-seconds into the game to open the scoring is the fourth-fastest goal scored by a Bradley opponent in program history and was the fastest game starter since Evansville's Chris Binder scored 25 seconds into a match Oct.
