UC Riverside midfielder Erasmo Solorzano (Riverside, CA/Riverside Poly) took home Big West Player of the Week honors after leading the Highlanders to a 2-1 win in their home opener against UNLV.
The senior was exceptional in his final home opener, scoring a pair of goals to lead the Highlanders to victory. His first tally was a curling free kick in the 20th minute to give UCR the early lead, then he netted the game-winner in the 86th minute after slicing through the Rebel defense.
Solorzano's two strikes marked the first time in his career that he had a multi-goal game as well as doubled his career goal total.
