Bouncing Back

The Aces hosted non-league opponent Interboro this morning on the turf at Arnold Field. The Bucs are Del-Val League contenders this year and would be a good test. LM controlled the early play and it didn't take long to get on the board as midway through the 1st half sophmore Max Shapiro took a beautiful cross and found the lower right corner of the net to give the Aces a 1-0 advantage. There was a lot of back & forth throughout the contest with both teams getting several good scoring chances. With about 10 minutes remaining Interboro was awarded a PK for a hand ball in the box. Junior goalkeeper Sabastian Jenkins made the save to keep LM on top. This miss seemed to ignite the Bucs as late in the game they peppered the Aces' net, but couldn't get one past this young defense. Final score 1-0 LM.

Next up for the Aces is a home  league game against Haverford High on Thursday at 3:45 PM.
