LOUDONVILLE, NY – Siena Men's Soccer (7-6-3, 3-3-2) partied like it was 2014 Wednesday afternoon, unleashing its best scoring performance in seven years in a dominant win over conference foe Canisius (1-12-2, 1-7). The Saints scored four times in the second half to take a 5-1 victory over the Golden Griffins and extend their home unbeaten streak to six, as well as their unbeaten streak against Canisius to eight.
 
The Green and Gold continued a stretch in which three of their final four matches are played inside the friendly confines of Hickey Field by improving to 5-1-2 in Loudonville. Siena found the scoreboard during a relatively even opening half in the 27^th minute, with fifth year defender Jacob Pacheco scoring his third goal of the year in the striker position off a feed from senior Birgir Thorsteinsson and freshman Erik Reis.
 
The second half opened the scoring floodgates for the Saints, with freshman Jacob Sandun Arachchige-Jensen netting what would be one-half of his first career multi-goal performance in the 47^th minute, with classmate Zach Gardner finding the assist in his first game back from injury. Sophomore Nick Fernandes found the back of the net for the second time this season off a pass from freshman Frederic Storodegard, beginning a stretch of three goals in eight minutes. Arachchige-Jenson's second strike of the match came in the 69^th minute by way of Pacheco, while sophomore Jack Mendrysa netted his first goal of the year just seconds after coming off the bench in the 71^st minute, with Arachchige-Jensen and sophomore Antonio La Gamba earning assists.
 
Despite being out-shot, 16-10, on the day, Siena compiled its most goals in a single match since a 5-1 win over Sacred Heart on September 9, 2014, as well as its most goals in a single half of play (four) since a 7-1 win over Saint Peter's on October 24, 2010.
 
Senior Greg Monroe made eight saves in-between-the-pipes to record his 18^th career win in his 59^th career appearance, moving into sole possession of fourth and second all-time in each category, respectively.
 
Siena will be back in action on Saturday, October 30 for its final regular season road trip of the season. The Saints will travel to Lawrenceville, New Jersey to face Rider at 1 PM.
