MORAGA, Calif. — Saint Mary’s men’s soccer player Erik Lyons was named the Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week after scoring his first career goal Sunday in his first career start.
Lyons earned his first cap for the Gaels (1-3-2) Sunday against visiting UNLV and went straight to work. Looking for their first win of the season, Lyons gave the Gaels the spark they needed in the 10th minute. The rookie headed in a lofted pass from Max Mirner, who had taken a touch pass from Kai Howe out of the penalty area and sent it to Lyons near the far post.
