TULSA -- Michael Lind scored just over a minute in the second-half but Oral Roberts University could not overcome two Bradley goals in the first 5:06 as the Braves downed the Golden Eagles 2-1, in non-conference action on Monday night at the ORU Soccer Complex.

On a cold and rain-soaked field, Bradley (8-4-3) grabbed an early advantage when Stephen Brust hammered a loose ball in the box past Andrew Techanchuk for a 1-0 Braves lead. Brust's goal came just a minute into the match.

Just a little over four minutes later, Joe Donoho scored the eventual game-winner for the Braves at the 5:06 mark. Ephraim Beard crossed a free-kick into the box that found Thiago Wong. Donoho finished the play, heading the ball from Wong into the back of the net.

After facing an early 2-0 deficit, the Golden Eagles (4-9-0) settled down and started to control the play for the remainder of the first-half. Both teams finished the first frame with nine shots apiece.

The Golden Eagles finally had their hard work pay off with a tally just 1:13 into the second-half to cut the Braves lead to 2-1. Miguel Peralta found Lind in the box after taking a corner kick and Lind blasted the ball past Bradley's goalkeeper Mike Haynes.

ORU continued to put pressure on Bradley in the second-half by out shooting BU 8-5 but could not get the equalizer.

Lind had a chance to score his second goal of the match, but his bullet from about 30 yards out just sailed wide of the net at the 80:09 mark.

Lind, Peralta, Nikola Bogdanovic, and Tommy Apitz each had three shots to lead the Golden Eagle offense attack.

Techanchuk finished the night with four saves in a losing effort, while Haynes had three saves for the Braves.

ORU returns to conference play on Saturday, hosting UMKC at 7 p.m.
