Game report: Qby 4-2 GF

Wednesday September 21
Queensbury 4-2 Glens Falls

Glens Falls played well but was undone by a couple of defensive errors to lose their season opener 4-2 away to Queensbury's A team. The Indians opened the scoring against the run of play in the 5th minute when Dylan Balcom collected a pass from Drew Nizolek and floated a shot into the net from a tough angle. Queensbury controlled the second quarter as well and took advantage of a couple of defensive mixups to take a one-goal lead into halftime. Glens Falls dominated the 2nd half but Queensbury scored a pair goals on the counterattack. Despite the deficit, the Indians continued to play well, apply pressure and attack at pace, creating a number of chances in the process. This determination was rewarded in the final minute on a nice sequence when Nizolek beat two defenders on the right wing and slid a ball across the face of the goal which Balcom tapped in. Despite the result, the performance was greatly improved over Monday's scrimmage.

SHOTS ON GOAL: Queensbury 8, Glens Falls 7
