Playing career

In 1989, Brauchle scored the game-winning goal against the University of Vermont Catamounts to send Rutgers Scarlet Knights to the NCAA final four for the first time since 1967. The goal was scored in the 18th minute of stoppage time when Brauchle met a cross from Dave Muller and pushed it past Jim St. Andre.
