Northampton Community College Men's Golf

Malitzki Head Coach, Golf Twitter: Steve Malitzki just finished his 7th season as the Head Coach of the Northampton Golf team. The 2015 season was highlighted by a return to Fall and Spring golf seasons by the EPAC conference, during which Luis Bedoya captured the EPAC individual championship at the Fall conference championship match, while Thomas Archer qualified for the NJCAA national tournament during the Spring, finishing in a tie for 36th place.  Archer was the third straight Northampton golfer to qualify for the national tournament.  2014 marked the second year as a member of Region XIX and the NJCAA and the Spartans captured their second consecutive EPAC championship, qualified for the Region XIX Tournament (where they finished 4th) and saw Jesse Bingaman win the Region XIX individual championship and finish 12th at the NJCAA national tournament. The 2013 season marked the beginning of a new era for Northampton Golf, as they entered the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).  Under Malitzki's tutelage the team captured the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference title, qualified for the Region Tournament and freshman Troy Heffelfinger qualified to compete at the NJCAA National championships in Jamestown, NY. The move to the NJCAA also moved the golf season from Fall to Spring, thus the Spartans competed in the Fall of 2011 as a member of the EPCC and then had to wait until Spring 2013 before officially beginning NJCAA competition. During the 2011 season, Coach Malitzki guided the Spartans to a 2nd place finish in the EPCC and a 4th place finish at the PCAA state tournament.  Freshman Steve Kluemper earned All-State and All-Conference honors. In 2010, Malitzki led the Spartans to their first conference championship since 2002 and a third place finish at the State Tournament.  Freshman Richie Eilenberger captured medalist honors at the EPCC Championship and finished in a tie for 4th at the States. In 2009 NCC finished 4th at the EPCC's and 6th in the State Tournament behind the play of Michael Hicks. During his first season, Malitzki mentored freshman Chris Gill to EPCC All-Conference and PCAA All-State honors.  The Spartans finished 4th at the EPCC tournament and 5th at the PCAA state championships. A graduate of Freedom High School, Malitzki resides in Bethlehem with his wife and two children.
