Central League opener

The Aces hosted the highly ranked Conestoga Pioneers yesterday afternoon, and it was experience against heart. The Pioneers returned most of their starters, and are the defending Central League Champs. LM had to rebuild from losing 9 starters, but were coming off 2 good shutout wins to start the season. The Aces defense came up big in the 1st half, and the offense got a few good early scoring chances, but at intermission the game remained scoreless. In the 2nd half the Pioneers began to  sustain their offensive pressure, and were awarded several free kicks & throw-ins deep in the LM end. It finally paid off midway thru the half in the form of 2 goals coming from long throw-ins 10 minutes apart. The Aces couldn't answer, and were dealt their 1st loss of the young season 2-0.

Next on the schedule is a non-league contest this Saturday, on the turf at Arnold Field ((10 AM) against Interboro H.S.
