STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
The meeting kicked off with a Student Spotlight presentation by Andy Morgan, NTCC Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach (pictured). Highlights from his report included:
The Northeast Texas Community College women’s soccer team battled their way to a thrilling 2–1 comeback victory over Jacksonville College on Tuesday afternoon in Jacksonville, Texas. The win secures the Eagles a spot in the Region Tournament.
Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) has announced that the annual Scare Affair event, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 25, has been postponed to Friday, October 31, 2025, due to the threat of severe weather in the area.
The NTCC men's soccer team closed out their 2025 slate of home games with a 1-1 tie vs UAC.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
The Eagles came out flying out shooting their opponents 22 - 9 in the game. They got on the board in the 25th minute, capitalizing on a hustle play from Sophomore midfielder Tiago Cuero. Cuero outraced everyone from his wide midfield position to tap in a loose ball to put the home side out in front. Although it looked like the Eagles would take off from there they went into the break holding on to the 1-0 lead.
