The Aces hosted non-league opponent Bonner this afternoon on the grass at Arnold Field. Most of the first 20 minutes was played in the middle third of the field with both teams feeling each other out. As the 1st half continued the Aces began to get the better of the offensive chances, with their defense ever so solid. With 12 minutes remaining in the 1st half it was the Aces' Roee Baror getting a nice thru pass about 40 yards out and neatly converted the breakaway opportunity to give LM a 1-0 halftime lead.

Playing in 91 degree heat was tough on both teams as the play slowed down a little in the 2nd half. With the Aces' defense looking solid it was just a question of whether they would be able to pad their lead. They weren't, so the final was another 1-0 win. This brought LM's overall record to 2-0 for the season, with their Central League opener coming this Thursday at Conestoga (3:45 PM).

Last call for the annual LM Soccer "Alumni Game", Saturday, September 13th, Noon tap off, on the grass at Arnold Field. We could use a few more players. If you're interested email me at: bubdavidson@comcast.net and let me know.
