BLUE BELL, Pa. - The Northampton women's soccer team fell behind early, but rallied for a 3-2 overtime victory over Montgomery County Community College on Tuesday at Bach Field.

Marisa Christiansen scored 19 minutes into the game to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead, but Natalie Tuffy tied the contest just before halftime off an assist from Brittany Frantz to make the halftime score 1-1.
