PLATTSBURGH — Ian Spear scored four goals and Peru totaled five goals in the second half in a 7-0 win at Plattsburgh High School in Thursday’s Northern Soccer League boys’ action.
Spear gave the Indians a 1-0 lead when he laced a shot in the lower left side from 25 yards out at 32:41. Five minutes later, Spear headed in a goal off a set-piece with help from Jacob Dick.
Peru’s speed and experience took over in the second half. Dick netted a goal at 51:06 with an assist from Jonathan Plessis-Belair. Spear’s hot foot continued into the second half with two unassisted goals. Andrew Kneussle and Justin Wiley also scored for the Indians.
“Their speed really hurt us,” Plattsburgh coach Chris LaRose said. “I’m really proud of our guys, though. I thought John Fine-Lease, Jack Tolosky and Nick Dodd really played their hearts out.”
Peru’s Mike Danis stopped five shots for the shutout, and Chris Mihal had eight saves for the Hornets.

“Adam played a good game, but this game was more about our team being able to finish,” Beekmantown coach Ryan Loucy said. “We’ve been struggling to finish, and tonight we fixed that.”
The second half turned into a scoring frenzy with six total goals. Skye Dominy stretched the Eagles’ lead to 4-0 with help from Brenden Carnright at 56:02. Down by four, the Chiefs began making a rally with back-to-back goals from Austin Myers and Matt Bouyea. Beekmantown, however, stifled the comeback attempt with two Goldfarb goals. Kyle Erikson buried a shot for Saranac to round out the second-half scoring.
“I’ve got to give (Saranac) credit. They were down 4-0, and they put a lot of pressure on us,” Loucy said. “They just kept coming and never quit.”
