LM hosted Penncrest this afternoon in a Central League contest. The Aces struck early with their most successful offensive weapon thus far this season, the long throw-in. With only 5 minutes played senior Jeremy Hillsberg sent one of his patented long throws into the box and fellow senior Quinn Vagnoni once again was on the other end & found the back of the net with a strong header.
A little later sophomore Max Shapiro showed some smooth footwork in a crowd deep in the Lions end but couldn't convert. Meanwhile Penncrest was showing excellent ball movement, building thru the midfield, and sending long thru balls toward the Aces' net but couldn't finish them off. With just 10 minutes left in the 1st half Junior keeper Sebastian Jenkins came up with a huge save to keep LM on top.
There was not much action in the 2nd half as the Aces began to close the door on the Fords midfield passing game. Both teams seemed a little flat as the ball stayed in the center half of the field for most of the half. There were no shots on goal for either team as LM had the goal and the Lions played with no urgency.
It turns out 1 goal was all it took and LM walked away with their 6th victory of the season (6-1-1). Next the Aces host Methacton on Saturday in a non-league game (12:30).
