In a win-or-go home game at Wagner on Friday, Perales walked it off for the Broncs in a 4-3 in double overtime win that secured their spot in the 2025 NEC Tournament. With 2:29 left in the second OT period, the senior forward found the back of the cage off a penalty corner set up from Megan Normile to clinch the victory for Rider. Her scoring day started early by netting the Broncs’ first goal of the game midway through the second quarter. Perales’ 13 goals, 0.77 goals per game, 32 points and 1.88 points per game all rank third in the conference. This marked the Madrid native’s third career NEC Offensive Player of the Week nod and second of the season. Rider’s season continues Thursday in the 2025 NEC semifinals against top-seeded Fairfield.
