Western New England takes regular season finale over Men’s Soccer

Box Score SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Roger Williams University Men's Soccer team ended the regular season on Tuesday with a 3-0 setback to Western New England University in Commonwealth Coast Conference men's soccer action at Suprenant Field.

With the win, Western New England clinches no worse than a No. 3 seed in the CCC Championship Tournament that starts this weekend. Roger Williams will be locked into the #5 seed.

The Golden Bears improve to 12-4-3 overall and finished the season on an eight-game conference unbeaten streak to go 6-1-2 in the CCC. The Hawks, meanwhile, were denied an opportunity to host a CCC quarterfinal game on Saturday after falling to 14-4-1 on the season and 4-4-1 in the conference. (Salve Regina is 4-3-1 in the CCC entering tonight's game at Eastern Nazarene, and holds the tiebreaker over Roger Williams.)

Senior Jake Bartnik (East Longmeadow, Mass.) netted his team-leading ninth goal in the 15th minute to give the Golden Bears the offense they would need. Ryan Williams (Brewster, N.Y.) centered a pass from the right wing into the box for Bartnik, whose initial shot was saved by Jon Pelloso (Wilbraham, Mass.) before he left-footed his own rebound past the goalkeeper.

Chad Burke (Boxford, Mass.) and Yeboa Amofa (Glastonbury,Conn.) added insurance goals in the 48th and 82nd minute, respectively.

Domenick Villano (Bronxville, N.Y.) had five saves for Western New England, playing 87:04 before being relieved by Kevin Strobel (Rockland, Mass.). Pelloso made six saves for Roger Williams in the loss.
