Box Score BIDDEFORD, Maine--No. 186 and counting.

That's how many victories Erin Sullivan has compiled in 14 seasons at Western New England after Scott Trautwein and Jake Bartnik scored in each half of the Golden Bears' 2-1 victory Saturday at University of New England during Commonwealth Coast Conference men's soccer play at Barbara J. Hazard Field. The Golden Bears have won two in a row to improve to 5-2, including 1-1 in the CCC, while the Nor'easters fall to 3-3-1 overall and 0-2 in the conference.

Sullivan passed WNE Athletics Hall of Fame member Bill Downes for the most coaching victories in the program's storied 48-year history after Wednesday's 2-1 win at Framingham State. Sullivan is currently 186-85-31 for a .667 winning percentage since taking the WNE helm in 2000, ranking ninth in New England and 43rd among active NCAA Division III coaches overall. Coach Downes recorded a 184-127-31 ledger spanning 20 seasons from 1970 to 1989.

Bartnik, a senior, scored what proved to be the game-winning goal on a penalty kick attempt in the 56th minute, breaking a 1-1 deadlock at halftime. He leads the team this season in offense with five goals and 10 points, including 2-for-2 on PKs, and all but one of his tallies have been either a game-winner or tied the score.

The Nor'easters would have an opportunity to tie the game late, but a blast by junior Anthony Frangione sailed left of the post.

The freshman Trautwein notched his third goal near-post on a centering pass from senior Alex Mazzella from the left wing, knotting the game at 1-all in the 13th minute.

Sean Goodrich gave UNE an early 1-0 lead in the 5th minute when he one-timed a low crossing pass from Will Bushey and scored his second goal from close range.

Aidan McParland was spectacular in the UNE net with 11 saves, while senior co-captain Domenick Villano had two stops to earn his fifth win in seven starts. 

After Bartnik's conversion gave the visitors the go-ahead goal in the second half, the Golden Bears had another PK opportunity, but McParland stopped the bid to keep the Nor'easters within one.

Western New England held a comfortable 24 to 12 shots (13-3 on goal) advantage and had one more corner kick (3) than UNE.

Anthony Frangione tried to generate some offense for the Nor'easters by getting off six shots.
