PEORIA, Ill. -- Oakland collected 17 blocks, but Bradley answered with a season-best 10 aces and managed to grind out a 26-24, 17-25, 25-21, 25-18 victory over the Golden Grizzlies Friday night at Renaissance Coliseum to conclude day one of the 2019 CEFCU Invitational.
Bradley (2-3 overall) hit just .113 in the match, marking the team's lowest hitting percentage in a victory since hitting .113 in a win at Wichita State on Sept. 22, 2000. Solid serving (10 aces) along with a good defensive effort helped the Braves pull out the victory as Bradley extended its non-conference home win streak to 12 consecutive matches.
