Game report: J'town 0-3 GF

Saturday October 24
Johnstown 0-3 Glens Falls

Glens Falls completed an excellent second half of the season with a comfortable 3-0 shutout win at Johnstown. The Indians began slowly after a long bus ride and an early morning start. But Logan Kunst opened the scoring in the 5th minute when he took a pass from John Cote and rifled a shot past the keeper. This was Cote's third straight game with an assist, tying a modified team record. Late in the first quarter, Kunst played a ball to Kellen Wolfe on the left wing who chipped it over the keeper to double the advantage. In the 22nd minute, Andrew Bulmer played a ball into space to Jared McIntosh who took what look like an intended cross but it sneaked past the keeper's near post. This was McIntosh's fifth straight game with at least one goal, breaking the modified team record. The Indians applied relentless pressure in the second half but couldn't expand the lead. Sean Barnes had several chances to score in the third and fourth quarters but was denied by a couple of fine saves by the Johnstown keeper. Playmaker Logan Kunst dominated the midfield, constantly setting up teammates. Pat Resse and Luke Kelly combined for four saves for the team's third shutout of the year.

Game report: GF 1-4 SGF

Tuesday October 19
Glens Falls 1-4 SGF A

Despite what was by far their best performance of the year, Glens Falls fell by 4 goals to 1 to a very strong South High A team. The Indians played 53 minutes of near perfect soccer but were undone by a brief period right after halftime when the Bulldogs scored three quick goals. GF’s goal was scored when John Cote played a through ball to Jared McIntosh whose shot hit the cross bar and bounced down over the goal line. GF’s central defense was led mostly by Sean Barnes and Andrew Bulmer who did a fantastic job in allowing the Bulldogs very few good chances. The few that did get through were well dealt with by goalkeeper Pat Resse.

Game report: GF 4-1 Qby

Thursday October 14
Glens Falls 4-1 Queensbury B

Glens Falls played its most impressive game of the season with a dominating 4-1 victory Queensbury B. The Indians won back-to-back games for the first time in two and a half seasons. GF controlled the first quarter and had many chances but couldn't score until playmaker Logan Kunst dribbled past several Spartans and launched a shot from 25 yards that curled past the keeper. The score stayed 1-0 for most of the rest of the game, despite GF having 29 total shots to Queensbury's 5. Midway through the fourth quarter, Jared McIntosh played a perfect through ball to Andrew Bulmer who dribbled past a defender and put his shot in the corner of the net. A few minutes later, roles were reversed as Bulmer played a ball to McIntosh who dribbled through the defense and scored. The lead was cut the lead to 3-1 when a series of defensive errors allowed a Queensbury player to dribble through the entire defense and poke it past goalkeeper Andrew Nichols. The final margin was secured on a Queensbury own goal in the last minute. Despite recovering from an injury, Michael Schrammel played the entire game in central defense and gave an excellent performance.

Hudson Falls 2-5 Glens Falls

Glens Falls defeated a much improved Hudson Falls team today by 5 goals to 2. Kellen Wolfe opened up the scoring in the 4th minute when he controlled a rebound and lifted it past the keeper. Patrick Resse doubled the lead five minutes later when a clearance went right to him and he lofted it home from 25 yards. Hudson Falls made it 2-1 when Luke Kelly made an excellent save on the initial shot but a Tigers' player scored on the rebound. GF restored the two goal lead late in the third quarter when Logan Kunst, who did an excellent job in central midfield spreading the ball around, found himself in perfect position to poke home the rebound of a Peter Mauro shot. Jared McIntosh scored two goals in the fourth quarter, both on long mazy runs, with assists from John Cote and Kunst respectively. Hudson Falls scored the final goal off a penalty kick. Luke Kelly had a fantastic game in goal, making several huge saves in the first half to preserve the lead and 11 stops total. Mauro and Austin Shufelt also had excellent games, even though they didn't get on the scoresheet.

Game report: Scotia 7-1 GF

Saturday October 9
Scotia-Glenville 7-1 Glens Falls

A very shorthanded Glens Falls fell to Scotia 7-1 yesterday. The Tartans did most of their damage in the beginning of the first and third quarters. They scored less than 25 seconds into both halves and scored 6 of their 7 goals in the first 7 minutes of both halves. Due to injury and illness, Glens Falls started the game with only 12 players and finished it with 11. But the Indians played fairly well against an extremely talented and physical Scotia team despite the circumstances and the scoreline. GF created several chances during the course of the match but couldn't translate many into shots on goal. The only GF goal was scored when a John Cote cross was mishandled by the goalkeeper and Kellen Wolfe was there to put in the rebound. Three GF goalkeepers combined for 18 saves.

Glens Falls 0-1 South Glens Falls B

Glens Falls failed to score for the first time this season in falling to the South High B team. The Indians controlled the 1st quarter but failed to get off any good chances. GF was slow and lethargic in the 2nd quarter and fell behind when an SGF shot went through the hands of goalkeeper Luke Kelly. The Indians were again low on energy in the 3rd quarter but woke up to dominate the final frame. GF created a number of good chances but several shots were other saved by the Bulldogs' goalkeeper, blocked by the defenders or just missed the net.

Game report: GF 3-0 HF

Saturday October 2
Glens Falls 3-0 Hudson Falls

Despite missing 4 starters and being down to 1 sub, Glens Falls earned a hard fought 3-0 win over Hudson Falls. The Indians took another early lead 90 seconds into the game when John Cote's tenacious work on the right wing got off a cross that Kellen Wolfe collected and shot past the keeper. GF struggled to find a rhythm in the second quarter with slow touches and failure to use the space on the wings, but regained their form after halftime. Midway through the third quarter, Patrick Resse's impressive free kick from 35 yards out floated past the keeper and into the top corner of the goal. Halfway into the fourth quarter, a corner kick was flicked on by Liam Forbes to Austin Shufelt who poked it past the keeper for his first ever modified goal. John Cote and Peter Mauro were particularly influential on the right side, while Justin Fizzuoglio was very strong in the several different positions he played in the game. Resse and Andrew Nichols shared the shutout in goal.
