A team game report: GF 7-0 Johnstown

Thursday October 2
Glens Falls 7-0 Johnstown


The A team became the first A team ever to win their first four games of the season when they beat Johnstown 7-0. The Indians dominated the first half, outshooting the Sir Bills 10-1, but couldn't put the ball in the net due to suspect finishing and good goalkeeping. But in the opening minute of the second half, the Johnstown keeper fumbled a shot and Sean Hooker was there to poke home the rebound. Hooker ended with two goals and an assist on the evening to continue his scoring rampage: he has at least two points in every game this season. Seven minutes later, Hooker took a cross from Tyler Mello and one-touch flicked it to Kyle McMurtry who finished the counterattack with a nice goal. The Indians overwhelmed Johnstown in the fourth quarter with five goals, including another goal scored directly off a free kick by McMurtry. In the quarter. John Benjamin and Fran Daughterty scored their first ever modified goals, while Evan McLaughlin scored his first of the season. Spencer Bray recorded his second consecutive shutout. It was a great second half by the Indians who will need a similar performance next Tuesday against a top-class Scotia team.
