SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Junior forward Taryn Flagg scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner with 18:54 remaining, as the University of New England Nor'easters picked up their first The Commonwealth Coast Conference victory with a 3-2 decision at Western New England College Saturday evening.

UNE (1-1 TCCC) wins its second straight to square its overall record at 2-2.  The Golden Bears are 0-7 overall, 0-2 in conference play.

Flagg got the Nor'easters on the scoreboard 7:50 into the contest with an unassisted goal.  

WNEC evened things up just before intermission when Erin Griffin converted a penalty stroke for her first tally of the season.

Caitlin Gerber gave the Golden Bears a 2-1 advantage at the 46:14 mark before UNE senior co-captain Nicole Mace tied the match three minutes later.

Off a penalty corner, sophomore Lauren Broderick set up Flagg, who deposited her fifth goal of the season in the back of the cage to provide the visitors the winning margin.

Ayla Nelson made four saves, including a crucial stop on a WNEC breakaway with 16:35 to play, in recording the victory.  The Nor'easters, who host UMass Dartmouth Wednesday at 4:00 p.m., held a 20-10 advantage in shots.
