ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Senior Christian Pulselli buried a shot off a pass from sophomore Jason Bucknor in the 82nd minute to seal a 1-0 University of Michigan men’s soccer team victory over Gonzaga on Sunday afternoon (Aug. 28) at U-M Soccer Stadium.
The Wolverines (1-1-0) took possession of the ball in their defensive end of the field and lifted it up to Bucknor, who was streaking down the right side of the pitch. Bucknor took a few touches before slipping the ball to Pulselli, who broke through the middle of the box and ripped a one-touch shot up over the keeper’s head for what was the eventual game-winning goal against the Zags.
The goal was the second career tally for Pulselli, while Bucknor added his third career assist in the win. As a team, Michigan outshot Gonzaga 14-6 with graduate student Kevin Buca taking three shots and both senior Inaki Rodriguez and freshman Nolan Miller taking two. Sophomore keeper Hayden Evans made one save on the day, earning the win between the pipes.
