DES MOINES, IA – Sophomore forward Gerit Wintermeyer nodded home the golden goal with 57 seconds remaining in the first overtime, lifting Bradley (7-4-3, 1-4-0 MVC) to a 1-0 victory at Drake (6-5-3, 1-2-1 MVC) Saturday night at Cownie Soccer Complex.
The Braves entered the match in need of a result (tie or win) to keep hope alive for earning a berth in next month's Missouri Valley Conference Men's Soccer Championship. Winless (0-6-2) in their last eight trips to Des Moines since a 2002 MVC Tournament victory, Bradley came away with three huge points and now can secure one of the six postseason spots with another win in the regular-season finale Nov.
