PEORIA, IL – As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect schedules around the country, local rivals Bradley and Western Illinois have found a window of opportunity to meet tonight at Shea Stadium.
While Bradley was facing an open week in its schedule due to the revamped Missouri Valley Conference slate announced earlier in the season, Western Illinois suddenly found itself without Summit League games this weekend due to a last-second shift in its league schedule, opening the door for the teams to revisit their local rivalry.
Tonight's game will kick off at 7:30 p.
