BNL Modified Boys Soccer vs Hoosick Falls Coach Recap 10/5
The Berlin-New Lebanon Boys Modified soccer team defeated Hoosick Falls by a score of 3-1 on Wednesday October 5th. Gabe Smith started in goal and made several key saves. Offensive pressure from BNL kept Hoosick Falls on a defensive footing for much of the game. Leading off in scoring was Markell Popov with a 1st quarter goal assisted by Tyler Webster. Following a BNL defensive rotation, Hoosick Falls managed to catch them off guard to tie the game at 1-1 late in the 2nd quarter.
After a few half-time adjustments, the BNL boys managed to play a much tighter defensive game only allowing a handful of shots by Hoosick Falls the rest of the way.
The 3rd quarter was largely uneventful until a goal by Jack Hart, with less than 5 seconds left in the quarter, lifted BNL to 2-1 lead. Assisting on the goal was Markell Popov. As the game progressed into the 4th quarter, BNL slowed the pace of play down, utilizing quality passing, ball control, and strong overlapping defense. Midway through the final quarter, Jack Mace assisted with a set up by Tyler Webster, found an angle on the right wing, and managed to net BNL’s third goal of the game.
BNL improves to 4-1-1 on the season and travels to face Mechanicville on Friday October 7th. -Coach Moseley and Coach Crimmel

The Girls modified soccer team came away from a magnificently played game with the Win over Hoosick Falls 2-1.
Ms. Clair Schaaphok landed a perfectly placed corner kick in front of the goal where Ms. Emma Shorter was waiting to send it to the back of the net during the first quarter. They held the lead until the 3rd quarter when Hoosick Falls snuck past the defense for the one and only goal they would allow Ms. Anna Ward played a stellar game in the goal as usual.
At the beginning of the 4th quarter an unexpected break away by Ms. Elliot Smith ended with a fabulous cross to Ms. Emma Shorter was again waiting to send the winning goal to the corner of the net for the winning goal. These ladies are impressive to watch once they get the kinks worked out in the beginning of the game. Once again the official who was on for their first game, told the ladies they’ve come a long way and they’re definitely getting better with every game. -Coach Dodge
Go BNL!!!
