Wintermeyer Brace Leads Braves to Shot at Second

PEORIA, IL – Junior forward Gerit Wintermeyer scored twice, helping Bradley (7-6-4, 5-3-2 MVC) rally for a 2-1 Missouri Valley Conference win versus Evansville (2-14-1, 0-10-0) in the regular-season finale for both teams Saturday afternoon at Shea Stadium.

With the win, Bradley at least temporarily moved into second place in the league standings, pending tonight's match between Loyola Chicago and host Valparaiso. With 17 standings points, the Braves are two points ahead of Loyola Chicago (4-2-3, 15 points) and need the Crusaders to come away with a win or a tie to hold onto the No.
