With their 1-0 win against Upper Darby yesterday, coming on a penalty kick by Francisco Palma with only 5 minutes left, it put the 2013 Aces in rare company. They are only the 2nd boy's soccer team in the school's history to post 7 shutouts in a row, the only other one coming in the 1989 season with Mike Strazzella in goal and Chuck Wurth as the sweeper.
This victory gives LM an overall record of 7-0 (4-0 league), and keeps their unscored upon streak alive. Next up is a huge Central League game this Thursday, on Arnold Field at 3:45 PM, against arch-rival Strath Haven, with league title ramifications. This will be a real good test for the Aces.
LM is ranked 4th in the Southeastern PA Soccer Coaches' Pool, but despite their very fast start, have yet to break into the Inquirer's top 10 (they are one of 3 teams listed as "under consideration"). With 2 of the top 10 teams having 3 losses, and another 3 having 2 losses, it looks like the committee is giving a lot of weight to strength of schedule.
