Foothills Council boys soccer: Scotia-Glenville outlasts Hudson Falls; Glens Falls edges Amsterdam

Julian Aldi’s goal in the 61st minute proved to be the game winner for Scotia-Glenville in a 4-3 victory over Hudson Falls Friday, Sept. 14, in a Foothills Council boys soccer game.

Hudson Falls took a 3-2 lead early in the second half when Shane Grimes scored on a penalty kick, but Jared O’Connor netted the equalizer two minutes later for Scotia-Glenville on a direct kick. Aldi added the go-ahead goal for the Tartans on an individual effort.

O’Connor tallied twice, and David Currie added a goal for Scotia-Glenville. Grimes, Ryan Melucci and Carter Lewis scored Hudson Falls’ goals.

Amsterdam goalkeeper Ian Healy stopped 10 shots, while Glens Falls netminder Ben Difiore made four saves.

Queensbury (6-0 league, 8-1 overall) wasted little time in establishing a big lead on Johnstown (1-7). The Spartans scored three goals in the first six minutes and added three more before halftime.
