NASHVILLE, TN – Senior Richard Olson (Park Ridge, IL/Maine South H.S.) scored the game-winner in the 68th minute as Bradley Soccer completed a 2-games-in-3-days sweep of its preseason trip to The Volunteer State with a 2-1 exhibition victory at Belmont Saturday afternoon at E.S. Rose Park.

Saturday's result came just two days after the Braves earned a 1-0 victory Thursday at Memphis. Olson also factored in Thursday's result by assisting Saadiq Mohammed's second-half winner against the Tigers.

Both teams got off to a quick start Saturday: Bradley opened the scoring in the fourth minute when the Bruins deflected a Younes Dayekh cross for an own goal.
