In the battle to see which high school in Lower Merion School District has the better boy's soccer team in 2013 it was the Aces prevailing in a hotly contested match.
Early in the game the Rams hit the crossbar behind LM goalkeeper Will Rosenbaum but it bounced over the goal. With just under 9 minutes played in the 1st hale senior Francisco Palma took a free kick that junior Gian-Luca Hail put past the Harriton keeper and it was 1-0 Aces early on. Despite LM controlling most of the play in the 1st half they could not add to their lead against the defensive-minded Rams and the half ended 1-0.
Just 5 minutes into the 2nd half it was another set piece that gave the Aces their 2nd goal. Francisco Palma hit a low free kick that senior Adam Holtz beautifully half-volleyed into the right hand corner and LM held a 2 goal advantage. It was all Aces the rest of the way, with senior Eli Cohen showing some fine moves in the offensive 3rd, Daniel Buckman working the middle, and the defense turning back the few chances the Rams were able to muster. The result, a 2-0 Central League win and an 11th straight shutout.
LM's record goes to 11-0-0 (8-0-0 league) with a very tough non-league game coming up on Saturday at Central Bucks West (2:30 PM).
