Johnstown 0-1 Glens Falls
Glens Falls picked a good time to record their first shutout of the year with a 1-0 victory at Johnstown. Nate Didio has his best game of the year and worked tirelessly winning balls and creating chances. His work rate was rewarded late in the first quarter when a perfect Justin Fizzuoglio through ball fed Didio in on goal. His first two efforts were well blocked by the keeper but he poked in the third. Glens Falls generally controlled the game with the shots on goal total being 12-3 in their favor, their lowest shots against total of the season. Jon White and Logan Kunst were rocks in the center of defense, preventing the Sir Bills from getting any good chances. Sean Barnes recorded 3 saves in the shutout. Nice way to finish the season!

Game report: GF 0-3 Gloversville
Saturday October 17
Glens Falls 0-3 Gloversville
Glens Falls was defeated 3-0 by Gloversville on a cold Saturday morning at Morse. The Indians started slowly again and some sloppy defending led to the Dragons' opening goal. However, Gloversville's second and third goals were spectacular long distance bombs, both from around 35 yards out, that most JV keepers would've had trouble stopping. Glens Falls played better in the second half, moving the ball around the field well. Sean Hooker, Dave Mauro and Pat Resse had several nice combination plays, but the team was unable to find the net. Hooker's curling shot from 25 yards hit the post and Sean Barnes' rebound shot was stopped by the keeper. Jon White has his best game of the year in central defense.

Glens Falls 2-1 Queensbury
Glens Falls won its first game of the season 2-1 over Queensbury on a pair of John Cote goals. The Indians controlled the first half with Sean Hooker's passes picking apart the Spartans' defense. He fed John Cote on a pair of breakaways that were saved by the keeper, but Cote made no mistake on a third striking the ball into the far corner for an early lead. Queensbury tied it up in the second quarter against the run of play when a a Spartans' player dribbled past a couple of defenders and blasted it in the top corner. The second half was sloppier with not many chances but a David Mauro through ball fed Cote for another breakaway and he slotted it past the keeper for the winning goal. Both teams had a late chance but couldn't capitalize. Patrick Resse made 8 saves in goal and his aggressiveness and good positioning prevented a number of Spartans' chances.

Game report: Scotia 6-0 GF
Saturday October 10
Scotia 6-0 Glens Falls
Glens Falls fell 6-0 to Scotia on a cold, windy morning. The Indians actually gave their best performance of the season so far, but were undermined by some individual mistakes and difficulty in creating good scoring chances. A very strong Tartans' team scored on nearly every chance they had, scoring five of their goals in a short span in the first half. Pat Resse played well in goal, nearly shutting out Scotia in the second half. Overall, GF gave a greatly improved effort and hope to maintain the momentum next week.

Queensbury 4-0 Glens Falls
Glens Falls fell 4-0 away to Queensbury in a game that was much closer than the score would indicate. The Indians played their best game of the season, with better passing and greatly improved cohesion and were scoreless at halftime. GF was undone by a four or five minute lapse in concentration and energy that led to three of the four Spartans' goals in the second half. In the future, the Indians will need to make sure they focus for 60 minutes, rather than 55, if they want to give themselves a chance to win. However, the game was a promising step forward for the team.

Further opportunities to play
Below is information on some opportunities to play soccer beyond the fall school season.
