UMass Dartmouth won for the second consecutive match to improve to 6-4-1, and earned its first conference victory of 2015 (1-2-1). The Huskies fell to 1-9-1 and remain winless (0-4) against Little East opponents.
The Corsairs controlled the pace throughout the match, holding a 23-6 advantage in shots.
UMass Dartmouth cracked the scoring column in the 27th minute, when junior Stephan Teixeira (Brockton, Mass.) converted a penalty kick for his team-leading fifth goal of the season. The Corsairs registered 11 of the 13 attempts in the opening 45 minutes, but entered the intermission with just a one-goal lead.
UMass Dartmouth almost doubled its advantage in the 80th minute when Teixeira ran onto a through ball behind the Huskies' defensive line. Teixeira tried to beat Southern Maine freshman goalie Simon Hulbert (Bar Harbor, Maine) to the lower right corner, but the shot bounced off the post.
The Corsairs broke open the contest with three goals in the span of four minutes, 40 seconds to seal the victory. Tambi netted goals in the 83rd and 86th minutes, while junior Wilfred Ghanyea (Monrovia, Liberia) finished a feed from Tambi and senior Corey Morris (Freehold, N.J.) in the 88th minute.
UMD junior goalkeeper Andres Reis (Fall River, Mass.) recorded two saves to earn his second shutout of the season. Hulbert played all 90 minutes in net and made seven stops.
Southern Maine will host Eastern Connecticut State University in its next match next Saturday (1:00 p.m.). UMass Dartmouth will return to action on Tuesday (7:00 p.m.) when the Corsairs travel to Roger Williams University.
