GREEN BAY, Wis.- The Green Bay men's soccer team continued its winning ways Sunday afternoon with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bradley. Chris Album converted a penalty chance in the 54th minute to give the Phoenix a 1-0 lead which they never relinquished. The win improved Green Bay's record to 3-0-1 on the season.
