Due to the Jewish holiday it was a long wait in between games, but it didn't seem to matter to the talented Aces. Using another excellent defensive performance they defeated perennial soccer power, and inter-district rival, Parkland 1-0. Senior Sasha Safavi continued his scoring streak as he played a ball over a Parkland defender with only 5 minutes remaining in regulation time and volleyed it into the lower right hand corner. Newcomber Ben Hriscu was credited with the assist. Senior Keeper Emmett McConnell registered his 2nd shutout of the season making 4 clutch saves, one being off an indirect kick inside the box with 7 minutes left in the game. He was supported by a solid effort by senior defender David Rosenfeld. On a down note the Aces lost 2 starters to injuries early in the game, the extent of which is still unknown.
In the first Philadelphia Inquirer boy's high school soccer rankings the Aces were listed 7th, the only Central League team on the list. Next up for LM is their opening Central League match at Ridley tomorrow at 3:45 PM. On Wednesday they host league rival Radnor, also at 3:45 PM.
