BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Montgomery County Community College rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to upset the Northampton, 84-81, on Thursday night.

Al Blount scored 19 points and dished out 6 assists, Ralph Padilla had 20 points and 5 rebounds and returning All-Region performer Josh Vargas chipped in with 17 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome a 48 point second half by the Mustangs.

"We played hard but not smart," commented Head Coach Kevin Foley, "way too many turnovers and a lack of toughness on the boards really hurt us."

The Spartans, 0-1, host Raritan Valley Community College on Saturday November 6th at 7:00pm in the first round of the Northampton / A-1 Limousine Tip-Off Tournament.

Matt Langley scored 15 points to lead Montgomery.
