SAN LUIS OBISPO – A 17th-minute effort from senior forward Max Kleinhammes handed the Cal Poly men's soccer program the initial lead during Tuesday evening's exhibition matchup versus UNLV before freshman forward Banyan Lyon (above) broke a halftime deadlock with a goal 11 seconds after the restart as the Mustangs produced a 2-1 victory inside Alex G. Spanos Stadium.
The Mustangs opened Tuesday's scoring with just their second shot attempt as sophomore defender Conner Leber found the UNLV penalty area with a throw-in that was flicked toward Kleinhammes. The Mustang senior latched onto the ball and fired past UNLV goalkeeper Andrew Sway for the 1-0 lead.
UNLV required just seven minutes to equalize, however, with midfielder Hayden Prasad dragging the ball toward the Mustang end line before squaring a pass back for forward Kai Lange, who fired past Mustang junior goalkeeper Victor Rodriguez to equalize.
Lyon, however, found the game-winning goal immediately after the restart. Cal Poly's kickoff fell to freshman midfielder Richie Garcia, who passed up field to Lyon with the shot coming from 15 yards.
Rodriguez produced two saves before giving way to freshman Nicky McCune in the 74th.

The Mustangs open the 2022 regular season with a Thursday, Aug. 25 matchup versus Dayton at Ohio State's Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
