A team game report: GF 1-8 Scotia

Friday October 24
Glens Falls 1-8 Scotia


The A team was defeated 8-1 in their final game, for their only home loss of the season. Although the score was lopsided, the Indians played reasonably well for most the game and were especially strong to begin the second half. But they had the misfortune of running into an excellent Scotia team at the top of their game. Sean Hooker scored for the GF on a breakaway off a through ball from John Benjamin. Nate Didio had his best game of the season at forward.

A team game report: SGF 4-1 GF

Thursday October 16
South High 4-1 Glens Falls


The A team mostly slept through a 4-1 loss to South High. The Bulldogs were up 3-0 after a first half where the Indians were lacking in team shape and especially energy. The A team woke up in the fourth quarter and played fairly well. Mike Kenny got the Indians' only goal of the game late in the game off a pass from Sam Butz. Kenny's goal was GF's only shot on goal of the game.

A team game report: GF 1-1 Qby

Tuesday October 14
Glens Falls 1-1 Queensbury


The A team tied Queensbury after overtime in an affair that was wide open despite the 1-1 scoreline. The Indians played poorly in the first quarter in yet another slow start. But they controlled most of the rest of the game. The Spartans scored in the first quarter on a fluke goal, but keeper Spencer Bray made up for it with three fantastic saves later in the game and a season high 11 stops throughout the match. Kyle McMurtry evened it up in the third quarter when he got ahold of a bouncing ball and lashed into the net. GF had several good chances following that but could not put the ball in the net.

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.

A team game report: GF 3-0 BP

Monday September 29
Glens Falls 3-0 Broadalbin-Perth


The A team went to 3-0 on the season with a 3-0 blanking of Broadalbin-Perth. The Indians nearly scored on a sequence mid-way through the first quarter when they hit the crossbar twice in a scramble in close and the Patriots' goalie stopped the third shot. The breakthrough came when Sean Hooker played the ball from the wing to Evan McLaughlin who one touched to Kyle McMurtry who slotted it past the keeper for his first goal of the season. In the third quarter, the two combined for a nearly identical goal. Two minutes later, Sean Hooker rounded off the scoring as he headed a perfectly placed pass from Mike Kenny into the goal. Spencer Bray made 8 saves for the team's first shutout of the season.

A team game report: HF 1-6 GF

Thursday, September 25
Hudson Falls 1-6 Glens Falls


The A team improved to 2-0 on the year by thrashing Hudson Falls 6-1. HF opened the scoring when one of their players powered through the entire defense. But the Indians' defense tightened up and that goal was Hudson Falls' only shot on goal in the entire game. Tanner Sax tied it up a few minutes later with a shot that beat the keeper to the near post off a pass from Kyle McMurtry. The Indians took control of the game in the 2nd quarter with a pair of goals and dominated the rest of the game. Heath Armstrong and Sam Butz each had a pair of goals, with Mike Kenny scoring right before half time. Butz's and Sax's goals were their first ever in a Glens Falls shirt. Sean Hooker and Evan McLaughlin combined for five assists on the afternoon. John Benjamin did a fantastic job controlling the pace of the game and distributing from the holding midfield position.

A team scrimmage report: GF 2-4 South High

Monday September 22
Glens Falls 2-4 South High


Sean Hooker scored pair of quick goals mid-way through the second quarter to give the Indians a 2-0 lead, but South High scored the last four goals to win the scrimmage 4-2. GF gave their best performance of the year so far. But they continue to need to improve their concentration and cut back on mental mistakes. Spencer Bray was fantastic in goal, making 20 saves.

Men of the match: Spencer Bray and Sean Hooker

A team scrimmage report: Queensbury 2-0 GF

Friday September 19
Queensbury 2-0 Glens Falls


Although the A team fell 0-2 in this scrimmage to a good Queensbury team, they showed a vastly improved performance over the previous contest. The Indians were rampant in the second quarter but couldn't find the net. The defense, led by Joe Nichols and John Benjamin, was solid throughout. The defense only made three mistakes in the contest, but two of them led to goals. This underlines the importance of concentrating for the entire 60 minutes. The A team will need to continue its improvement next week against a quality South High team.

Man of the match: Kyle McMurtry

A team game report: GF 7-1 Gloversville

Thursday, September 18
Glens Falls 7-1 Gloversville

The A team labored to a 7-1 win in their season opener against Gloversville. Sean Hooker had a pair of goals, including an opportunistic finish after the keeper fumbled a shot. Kyle McMurtry scored directly off a 30 yard free kick and set up Hooker's first goal off a corner. Jack Girard tore up and down the right flank from the back while central defenders John Benjamin and Jake Zanoni combined to limit Gloversville's scoring chances to almost none. However, the Indians will have to improve its spacing and concentration dramatically if it's to have success against stronger teams.

Note: ' means minute and () means assist so 4'-Hooker (McMurtry) means Hooker scored in the 4th minute with an assist from McMurtry.
