Rolling On

This afternoon the Aces traveled to Marple Newtown for a Central League game with the Tigers. LM started sluggish and the Marple keeper was able to keep the Aces off the board for the 1st half, which ended 0-0. The LM pressure finally paid off in the 2nd half, and when it was all over the Aces put 4 goals on the board, as senior Eli Cohen recorded a hat trick and Francisco Palma added a single goal. It was business as usual for the defense as keeper Will Rosenbaum chalked up his 11th shutout of the season (in as many games) and LM's D remained unscored upon.

This brought the Aces' overall record to 11-0 (8-0 league) with a key Central League match-up with sister school Harriton this Thursday. The Rams will host at 3:45 PM. LM remains atop the league standings with Conestoga, Strath Haven, & Harriton still in the mix. The Aces moved up to 4th in this week's Southeastern PA Soccer Coaches' Poll behind Father Judge (12-0), North Penn (8-0-2) and Great Vallet (10-0). Conestoga was the only other Central League team that was ranked (12th).
