Quality Win

Today the Aces hosted powerful Unionville, ranked just ahead of them in the Southeastern PA Coaches Pool, who would be playing without their all-star senior midfielder Perry Hopkins, sitting out a red card. After dominating the opening 15 minutes of the game, the Aces got on the board with a nice shot by senior Mattias Fernandez-Duque, coming from a Mike Lemonick long throw-in. In the 2nd half Unionville came out all charged up and got several early scoring chances. However, it was the Aces getting the next goal, coming off a 28 yard left-footed blast from junior forward Ben Hriscu. The defense took over from their and recorded their 4th shutout of the season 2-0.

Next week is huge for the Aces, as they face 3 high quality teams. On Tuesday afternoon they host Upper Darby (3-1 Central League) at 3:45 PM on the turf at Arnold Field. Thursday they travel to Strath Haven (4-0 Central League) and who are ranked #5 & #7 respectively in the Inquirer & SE PA Coaches polls for a 3:45 PM contest. And on Saturday they host LaSalle (6-0-1 overall) in a non-league game at 2:30 PM on the turf at Arnold field. LaSalle is the top ranked team in the state in every poll. In the past couple of years the Aces have had impressive wins in these kind of games. Come on out and join us.
