Bisons' Home Opener Slips Away in 3-1 Defeat

SEARCY – In a thrilling season opener, Harding's Elliott Bracy scored in the 81st minute, evoking memories of the Bisons' epic comeback against Union (TN) last season. However, unlike 2023's dramatic 3-3 tie after trailing 3-0, Harding couldn't conjure up another miracle, ultimately falling 3-1 on Thursday.

Bracy's 11th career goal, assisted by debutant Jaffet Rodriguez, offered a glimmer of hope, but it proved too little, too late. Notably, nine of Harding's 11 starters made their debut, and 15 players donned the black and gold for the first time.

Newcomer Inigo Chavarria started in goal, making four saves in his inaugural appearance. Bracy led the team with two shots, while Matheus Barbosa and Kyle Cosenza contributed one each, totaling four shots for Harding.

The Bisons continue their three-game home stand on Saturday, September 7, hosting Christian Brothers at 6 p.m. The home stretch concludes on Tuesday, September 10, with a 2 p.m. matchup against Mississippi College.
