The Aces took their undefeated record into a key Central League contest today against perennial powerhouse Strath Haven. Haven came out strong, just missing 2 good scoring chances in the first 3 minutes. LM keeper Will Rosenbaum came up real big on one of them. After about 15 minutes the Aces settled in. In the 23rd minute Francisco Palma took a short corner kick and put it just inside the far post to give the Aces a 1-0 lead. Just before halfime it was Palma again, this time on a PK.
During the first half Haven relied on their long throw-in play for most of their offense but couldn't solve the Will Rosenbaum anchored defense. He came up with several outstanding saves to keep the Panthers off the board. With just 3 minutes remaining Palma got his hat trick on a breakaway and the 2013 LM defense was in the record books. They moved past the 1989 team by recording 8 shutouts in a row. Pretty impressive.
This key win keeps the Aces perfect, and I mean perfect; NO losses, NO ties, and NO goals allowed. They are 8-0 overall, with a 5-0 league record. Next up a rare Saturday league game, against Penncrest at LM.

Congrats to the 2013 team for setting a new school record. Keep the streak going. Records are meant to be broken. To all my '89 teammates, congrats on holding the record for 24 years-a great accomplishment.
