Missouri State

Defender Greg Stratton played a key role for the Missouri State defense that allowed just one goal in the Bears’ sweep of conference opponents Drake and Bradley last week.  Stratton and the MSU backline recorded the team’s fourth straight shutout in a 3-0 win against Bradley on Wednesday, Oct. 9.  The defense held the Braves to just two shots in the first half and six overall to preserve the clean sheet for MSU.  The junior from Marietta, Ga. played the full 90 minutes in the Bears’ 3-1 win over Drake on Sunday, Oct. 13.  The Bears extended their season-long streak of holding opponents scoreless in the second half and overtime.  Stratton was one of eight MSU players to record a shot against Drake as the Bears posted a 17-3 shot advantage over the Bulldogs on Sunday.
