Before we look back at an exceptional season let's take a look at the very unusual results from yesterday's 2nd round District Playoffs.
The #4 seed C.B. East lost on PK's 1-1 (5-4) to Constoga
The #3 seed Neshaminy lost on PK's 0-0 (5-4) to W.C. Rustin
The #2 seed Lower Merion lost on PK's 0-0 (5-4) to Down. West
The #1 seed Great Valley won on PK's after a 0-0 tie
Ironically, the Aces beat 2 of the teams, during the regular season, who are still left in the upper half of the bracket (Conestoga & C.B. West).
------------------------------------
It's always very disheartening ending a great season with a loss, especially coming in a PK shootout. But after the disappointment begins to fade, both the Aces' players, and coaches, will realize how special this season was. Despite not going as far in the playoffs as they would have liked, they have to look at a regular season that proved exceptional in so many ways.
1/ They won the 2013 Central League Championship
2/ They won their first 12 games with shutouts
3/ They added 4 more wins, 3 of those also shutouts, to finish a perfect 16-0 regular season
4/ Only 1 team scored on them all season
5/ Will Rosenbaum (with help from an outstanding defense) tied a school record for most shutouts in a season (16)
6/ They also tied school records for most wins in a regular season (16) & fewest losses in a season (1)
7/ They set school records for; best league record (11-0-0), most shutouts in a regular season (15), most consecutive shutouts (12) & fewest goals allowed in a season (2)
Best of luck to the 12 seniors who will be moving on; Jacob Fleisher, Eli Cohen, Matt Mantell, Facundo Fernandez-Duque, Tyler Robinson, Francisco Palma, Kevin Deng, Adam Holtz, and captains David Baer & Daniel Buckman
I will be posting the names of the All-Central League honorees as soon as they become available.
