Locked in a 1-1 stalemate, the sophomore striker would go onto score the game-winning goal at the 72:00 minute mark. Preseason favorite FDU is off to an unbeaten start with a 1-0-1 record. The two scores marked the first goals of his Division I career. Pelade is one of four NEC players to rifle off two goals in a match this season. This marks the sixth straight season a Knight has taken home NEC Player of the Week accolades.
