LEWISBURG, Pa. – Senior Eddie Perez-Pelaez and freshman Zane Domsohn played key roles in the Bucknell men's soccer team's four-goal outburst against Holy Cross on Saturday, and both were honored by the Patriot League on Monday. Perez-Pelaez was selected as the league's Offensive Player of the Week, while Domsohn was tabbed as the Rookie of the Week. Perez-Pelaez was also named the Bison of the Week after his big performance.
Perez-Pelaez, who was one of five Bison honored in Senior Day ceremonies prior to the match, had a hand in three of the four goals. Hey scored a key insurance marker late in the game and also set up two others.
Perez-Pelaez's through ball found freshman Charlie Holmes for the opening tally in the 25th minute. In the 82nd, the Bison were under a bit of Holy Cross pressure while clinging to a 2-1 lead, but Perez-Pelaez put an end to that by slotting a shot off the left post and in for his first goal of the season. Fellow senior Mo Tall had the assist on the play, and then less than five minutes later it was Perez-Pelaez on the distribution end once again, setting up Domsohn to make it a 4-1 game.
Perez-Pelaez recently moved back into an attacking role, where he had played throughout most of his career, after lining up at center back for much of the 2022 season. He took advantage, posting his second career four-point game.
Meanwhile, Domsohn continued his late-season scoring spree with a brace against the Crusaders. He became the first Bison freshman to score twice in a game since Perez-Pelaez in a 4-1 win at Canisius on Sept. 1, 2019.
Domsohn has earned a bigger role in the forward ranks in recent weeks, and he scored his first collegiate goal in a 1-1 draw with Colgate one game earlier. He came right back against Holy Cross and put two in the back of the net, including the tie-breaking tally in the 30th minute, not long after the Crusaders had equalized on an own goal. It was a beautiful first-time strike under the bar from the top of the 18 off a long ball from goalkeeper Freddie Lapworth.
Now 2-5-1 in Patriot League play, the Bison close out the season at Loyola on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
