BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Northampton men's soccer team suffered a tough defeat on Tuesday afternoon, failing to score for the second consecutive match, and falling to rival Montgomery, 6-0.
The Spartans, trailing at halftime, 1-0, looked to be on track for a strong second half of soccer, but four consecutive goals by the Mustangs put the match out of reach. The Mustangs went on to tally a late score in the 82nd minute and cruised to the 6-0 win.
"Tough loss today," explained Head Coach Mario Barrantes, "I felt we were strong out of the gate and hung tough going into the second half, but the two quick second half scores put us back on our heels and we just didn't recover. We will pick up the pieces tomorrow and get ready for Saturday."
Spartan goalie Theo Jenkins (Phillipsburg, NJ/Nazareth) faced 8 shots on goal and recorded two saves.
Northampton falls to 0-4-0 overall and 0-4-0 in Region 19.
Montgomery improves to 2-2-1 overall and 2-2-1 in Region play.
The Spartans hit the road this weekend for a Region 19 matchup in Sewell, NJ vs. the Roadrunners of RCSJ-Gloucester on Saturday at 12pm.

Based on feedback from last summer’s inaugural conference, the 2025 event will be held over two days: Friday, Nov. 7 and Saturday, Nov. 8.
This event will feature Lenape speakers from across the United States and Canada, who will offer panel discussions and hands-on workshops on Lenape history, language, craft, horticulture, food sovereignty and justice, medicine, and storytelling. There will also be screenings of three documentaries, and the event will close with a celebration with social dances.
In addition to attending these sessions, attendees will have time to visit exhibition tables where they can learn from speakers one-on-one. Light breakfast, lunch, and Lenape-inspired dinner (Friday only) will be served.
The conference is open to the public. Attendees can choose to register for one or both days; a reduced fee for students is available, and educators at all levels are encouraged to attend.

The entire Lehigh Valley to join in celebrating one year of formal partnership between Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Patillas, Puerto Rico, on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
The celebration will begin with a special “El Junte de los Pueblos” ceremony and flag raising at 1:00 PM at Payrow Plaza, followed by a walking parade through South Bethlehem to the SteelStacks campus, where a vibrant community festival will take place featuring live music, cultural performances, food vendors, and family activities.
This event honors not just the formal Sister City relationship formed in 2024, but the generations of Patillenses who migrated to Bethlehem in the mid-20th century and contributed deeply to the city's cultural, industrial, and civic life. Today, that legacy continues to grow through educational partnerships, cultural exchange, and community development efforts led by both cities. Toni Fernandez is on the Planning Committee and Co-Chair of the Education- Workforce Committee. Anyone interested in joining a committee contact Toni at afernandez@northampton.edu.

Hi NCC Community,
This week marks the beginning of National Suicide Prevention Awareness week. A simple check-in can make a powerful impact. Reach out to someone and let them know they matter—you may be making a difference you’ll never fully see.
This year’s theme, “Continuing the Conversation,” reminds us that connection is prevention. Each of us has the power to play a role in suicide prevention by reaching out, listening, and showing we care. Not sure how to start? Visit seizetheawkward.org for conversation tips that can help break the ice in a supportive and gentle way.
We all have a role to play in recognizing warning signs, offering compassion, and supporting those who may be struggling. For further resources, learn more at talkawaythedark.afsp.org/reachingout/. Starting a conversation about someone's mental health can feel intimidating—but by showing up, listening with empathy, and reminding someone they are not alone, you can help light the way forward.
Remember, your words matter. Let those around you know they are seen, valued, and important. Take a moment, too, to challenge the myths surrounding suicide. Misinformation can keep people from reaching out for the help they deserve. Learn the facts at preventsuicidepa.org/myths-misconceptions—because knowledge is power, and compassion is key.
And most importantly, if someone you know—or even you yourself—are experiencing a mental health concern or crisis, help is always available. You are not alone. Please call, text, or chat 988 for immediate support.
Together, by continuing the conversation, we can build a community of connection, hope, and healing.

Join us for a campus-wide teach-in open to all students, staff, and faculty, where we’ll explore the state of democracy—past and present—and examine the forces that can support or undermine it. Together, we’ll look at the rise of authoritarianism throughout history and discuss how similar patterns may be emerging today.
The event will begin with a brief presentation providing historical context and key themes. This will be followed by an open, guided discussion where participants can share thoughts, ask questions, and consider how we, as a community, can better understand the challenges facing democracy.
Whether you're new to the topic or deeply engaged, this is a space for learning, reflection, and conversation.
This event is being hosted in collaboration with the Center for Community, Equity, and Inclusion.

About Vote Early Day
Vote Early Day was founded by MTV as a new civic holiday focused on helping every voter know how, where, and when they can vote early. Launched in the midst of a global pandemic, Vote Early Day became a critical resource to ensure no voter had to choose between their health and casting their ballot. In its first celebration, Vote Early Day attracted 134 premier partners and 2,700 general partners from every state in the nation. Over 3,000,000 voters cast their ballots on Vote Early Day alone.
