GORHAM, Maine -- Trailing 1-0 early in the contest, the University of Southern Maine received a pair of goals from Liam Conneely on its way to a 3-1 non-conference men's soccer win over the University of New England Saturday afternoon (Sept. 7) at Hannaford Field.

UNE (1-2-1) got on the scoreboard in the opening stage of the contest when Matthew Dewhurst notched his first career goal. Dewhurst's tally came off a feed from Corbin Schreindorfer 12:26 into the match.

An unassisted goal by Alex Graver with 60:00 elapsed provided USM (1-1-2) with a two-goal advantage, a lead that would stand up the rest of the way.

Gabe Wagner and Aldo Bryant split time in goal and combined for one save for the Huskies, who held a 19-7 advantage in shots on the day.

UNE's Ollie Hammond had a save in the first half before giving way to Triston O'Hagan, who registered three after intermission.
