After the half it was Hooker again who would get on the board first driving the ball to the far post after a feed from John Cote and some nice individual work in the box. Hooker then took a nice corner that was tipped slightly by the kicker and fell nicely to Wooley who calmly put it in the back of the goal. A defensive let down late in the second allowed a soft score by the Cardinals but the lead was quickly restored minutes later when Sax played a nice forward pass to Hooker who beat a man before rippling the net for the fourth time in the match to finish the scoring.

9/22 Glens Falls 0 Broadalbin-Perth 1 Broadalbin-Perth scored direct from a free kick with 8 minutes remaining to steal the win from Glens Falls in a game that saw the hosts as the better team for most of the game. Much of the game was played in the middle third of the field with play shifting back and forth quickly. BP used there quick forwards to try and get behind the GF defense only to be closed out before becoming much of a danger. The few times the ball made it through the Indian keeper was ready an made the saves. GF played more of a possession style game and put persistent pressure on the BP backline throughout the match only to be turned away by some outstanding defense. The Indians found themselves in the opponents box on multiple occasions but were unable to muster anything dangerous on goal. The turning point in the match came after BP was fouled just off the top of the Indians penalty box. The kicker placed the ball perfectly in the upper ninety of the far post to earn the win.  Glens Falls got standout games from their entire defense line, including Kyle and Cory Wilcox, Jon White, Ethan Katz, and Michael Basford.

10/4 Gloversville 1 Glens Falls 3 Gloversville came out strong and got an early first half lead on an opportunistic finish from close range.  The sloppy field led to a lot of sloppy play and slips and falls which made it hard for either team to settle in although the Dragons adjusted quicker and capitalized on a slow defense when a long throw bounced inside the Indians box and was picked up by a GV forward who put the ball over Patrick Resse and into the far side of the net.  The dragons held the 1 goal edge until early in the second half.  GF made some adjustments and settled down to take control.  Logan Kunst found John Cote alone at the top of the box and he calmly placed the ball in the back of the net to tie the score.  Midway through the second half Luke Collins played a long cross that Mike Basford got a foot to and played to Nate Didio who took a touch before blasting the ball past the helpless GV keeper. Kunst would add the insurance goal with fifteen to play when he buried a one time shot from a Sean Barnes cross making the final score GF 3 GV 1 and notching the second league win of a frustrating season for the Indians.

Sean Hooker played a ball straight into the path of Nate Didio who gathered the ball and ran away from the defensive line to finish cleanly into the side of the net. GF continued to threaten throughout the remainder of the first half but coulsd not finish a number of quality chances. The Tigers managed a couple of decent attacks of there own before half but starting keeper Patrick Resse was there to make the necessary saves. A hard collision with a HF forward would require Resse to leave the game just before the half time whistle. In the second half the Tigers had multiple chances to score and would finally equalize with 10 minutes to play. The Tiger defense collected the ball in their defensive third and hit a long ball into the right corner. The HF forward did well to gather the ball and send a long high ball from near the corner over the GF keeper and into the far side net to tie the game. The Indians responded almost immediately when a ball played from the left flank found Sean Hooker at the top of the box. Hooker played a short chip over the defense into the path of Logan Kunst who tokk a touch before scoring the winning goal.

A few minutes after the restart Clark Wooley played a ball to the left side for Sean Hooker who took a few touches and again beat the Tartan keeper to stretch the lead to 3. Scotia started to push for a goal a little harder with the GF defense doing a fantastic job of bottling them up when one of them fell in the box and landed on the ball. The officials called a PK for a hand ball and the Scotia comeback began. Just two minutes after giving up the PK goal a Scotia forward blasted a tremendous shot from long range that keeper Patrick Resse couldn't reach cutting the lead to 1. GF continued to dominate the ball and seemed to have things in hand when a blown clearance by the keeper resulted in a foul at the top of the box and a straight red to the GF netminder. After the keeper change, Scotia took the direct free kick from the top of the box and the Indians could only watch as the ball deflected away from new goalie Sean Barnes who had been heading in the opposite direction. Tie score 3-3. From that point on Glens Falls pushed for the winner and managed to hold a large portion of the possession even a man down. Shell shocked and depleted the Indians just couldn't push through for the final goal and it was Scotia who, 1 minute into the second OT period got a 35 yard bomb that dropped just under the bar for the winning tally.
