CARNEY'S POINT, NJ - The 7th ranked Northampton men's soccer team dropped a Region 19 contest on Thursday afternoon, falling 4-0 to Salem Community College. 

The Spartans never got on track vs. the Mighty Oaks, falling behind 1-0 in the first half and never recovering.

"We simply did not play well," lamented Head Coach Mario Barrantes, "but credit Salem, they were the better team today ... they are big and physical and took us out of our game."

Drake Brackett (West Easton, PA/Wilson) was credited with 4 saves for the Spartans. 

The loss drops Northampton to 7-2-1 overall and 3-2-1 in Region 19.

Salem improves to 5-4-0 with the win.
