In the 1st area polls of the season, the Aces, despite losing 9 starters to graduation, have been shown a lot of respect. The Philadelphia Inquirer has LM ranked 4th, behind #1 Pennsbury, #2 Germantown Academy, and #3 North Catholic. And the Southeastern PA Soccer Coaches Association poll has the Aces at #3, behind #1 Pennsbury and #2 Downingtown West.
After starting the season with two 4-0 blowouts on the road, one would have to wonder if the young 2009 Aces would be overconfident, and let these high poll rankings go to their heads. Yesterday they traveled to #9 ranked Pennsbury, to see if they were as good as everyone else seems to think they are. Well, they didn't disappoint. LM came away with a 3-1 win, to keep their record perfect. It was the first goal given up by the Aces defense, led by senior goalkeeper Jack Van Adelsberg. Tomorrow LM opens up their Central League schedule, as they travel to Springfield to take on the Cougars at 3:45 PM.
Just another reminder. Our annual "Alumni Game" will be played this year on Saturday morning, October 10th, on the turf at Arnold Field at 10 AM sharp. We hope to get a big turnout this year so clear that date now. Everyone is invited, whether you're playing or not, so come on out and join us. Lunch will be provided after the "Alumni Game", as they current 2009 Aces take on non-league opponent Interboro at noon.
