GORHAM, Maine – Liam Conneely and Alex Graver scored second-half goals, and goalkeeper Gabe Wagner stopped a late penalty kick as the University of Southern Maine rallied for a 2-1 victory over UMass Dartmouth Saturday at Hannaford Field.

The Huskies improved to 7-5-7 overall, while the Corsairs fell to 7-8-3.

UMass Dartmouth took the lead in the 18th minute when Joey Renquinha scored off an assist from Jack Martin following a corner kick at 17:47. The Corsairs carried that advantage into halftime despite Southern Maine holding a 5-4 edge in shots.

Conneely brought the Huskies level at 54:39, scoring his first goal of the season off a feed from Cole Johnson. Less than eight minutes later, Graver put Southern Maine ahead, finishing off an assist from Martin Kelly at 62:25 for his 11th goal of the season.

Wagner helped protect the lead with a save on Claudio Ramos shortly after Graver’s goal and another on Mario Rodriguez in the 81st minute. His biggest stop came with just 3:03 remaining, denying Rodriguez’s penalty kick to preserve the one-goal advantage.

Wagner finished with six saves, including three in each half. UMass Dartmouth goalkeeper Edward Corliss also recorded six saves while playing all 90 minutes.
