AMHERST, Mass. – Dave Siljanovski scored a pair of goals and assisted on another to lead the University of Massachusetts to a 4-1 men’s soccer win over the University of Maine here Wednesday.

After UMass’ Mike Butler and Maine’s Mike Dunphy swapped goals, Siljanovski gave UMass the lead for good by scoring with 1:53 left in the half.

Siljanovski and Fabio Maniatty added insurance goals late in the second half. Brad Kurowski set up Maniatty’s goal.
