Men’s Hockey Team Wins Thriller Against EIU

The Men’s Hockey team was in action last Friday as they faced off with Eastern Illinois to open up the season.

Bradley is going to light the lamp here as Matt Daury scores off the nice feed from Alex Wagner to cut the Braves’ deficit to 6-4.

This was a high scoring game, with the score being knotted up at 8 as they went to a shootout.

Check out this sweet move by Cody Esposito to put Bradley on top in the shootout.

The bench loves it, and that would be enough as the Bradley goaltender Logan Osborne would stop all three attempts by the Panthers.

Here comes one of his stops, as the EIU shooter misfires.

And up next, here comes the Big One! This save by Osborne wins it for Bradley as they win a wild one 9-8.

The Braves trailed by three goals in the 2nd period, and they came all the way back to start the season 1-0.

They would take game two of the series on Saturday to sweep the Panthers and improve to 2-0.

The team will be at Augustana for two games this weekend.
