Braden and the Fighting Scots (1-0, 0-0 G-MAC) picked up their first win as a member of the G-MAC in their season debut against District of Columbia.
Braden finished with six points (five goals, one assist) to serve as the one of offensive sparkplugs in his collegiate debut. Braden produced the same offensive output as teammate Keith Parkman in a high-scoring affair.
A freshman from Wooster, Ohio, Braden found the net three times in the first half for an 11-9 lead for OVU at the break. Deadlocked at 16-16 with about five minutes left in regulation, Braden scored twice with the Fighting Scots up a man to put the game on ice.
