Scoring by Jake Dariano and Dante Bianchi in the second half helped, but it was not enough as the Spartans from Queensbury went on to win 14-6.  The Tartans were led in scoring by Jake Dariano and Dylan Bzdell with 2 goals apiece, Nick Coons tallied 1 goal and 2 assists, and Dante Bianchi also scored a goal.  Defensemen Ryan Gaynor also recored an assist after running a successful clear and feeding Dylan Bzdell for a goal.  In goal Bryce Layton recored 22 saves with a 61% save percentage.

The Tartans take on South Glens Falls next Tuesday at home on Hitchcock Field at 4:30.  Last year South Glens Falls was our Foothills League champions.
