MACOMB, Ill. – Freshman Chelsea Brackmann (New Berlin, Wis./Eisenhower) returned to the lineup to score a season-high 19 points off the bench and helped the Bradley reserves collect 45 points, but Western Illinois hit 10 three-pointers and topped the Braves 91-77 Monday at Western Hall.
Two Bradley reserves scored in double figures and the bench combined for 45 points on 16-for-28 shooting, 11 boards, seven assists, four steals and two blocks against the Leathernecks behind a season-best 19 points from Brackmann, who was 7-for-10 from the field with a pair of blocks. Brackmann sat out of Friday's home contest against Northern Illinois due to injury.
