UT Permian Basin men's soccer scored the final three goals of the game Friday afternoon and had four different players score as the Falcons started the season 1-0 with an opening day 4-2 victory on the road in non-conference action against Wayland Baptist in Plainview, Texas.

The Falcons took an early 1-0 lead on Stefan Faria's first goal at UTPB on a header from 15 feet away in the fifth minute. 

Wayland Baptist got goals from Raheem Fleming and Cooper Gaypia at 11;32 and 24:24, respectively, to climb back and take its first lead of the game.

Brandon Lee found the equalizer at 32:03 in the first half on a 1v1 shot from in front of the keeper to knot the contest at 2-2 heading into halftime.

The final 45 minutes belonged to the visitors as Frankie Rodriguez put the Falcons ahead 3-2 at 52:51, driving down the middle of the field to score.

Esai Cortez gave the Falcons a much-needed insurance goal 12 minutes later on a blast from 30 yards away. 

The Falcons closed out the victory down a pair of men in the final five minutes in a match that featured 11 total cards issued to the two teams.

UTPB is off for the next week, returning back to action next Friday in its home opener against Adams State at the UTPB Turf Field at 7 p.m.
