The Aces traveled to Upper Darby this afternoon for another important Central League contest. Coming off 2 straight wins after their only loss this season against Conestoga, LM wasn't about to give anything back. An old quote that hung in the Aces locker room for many years says it all, "The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender".
Midway through the 1st half LM senior Anthony Haines put a corner kick right on the money to sophmore Thomas Podrasky and he put the Aces ahead 1-0. As most games with the Royals are, it was very physical, producing 3 yellow cards, but LM would not back down. Senior Jake Newshaffer, subbing for injured Aces' goalkeeper Sebastian Jenkins (broken nose), had a great day in goal, making several key saves. LM controlled most of the play, both on the ground & in the air, using a very efficient ball control game while the Royals were content to play long ball but couldn't solve the vastly improving Aces' defense. Final score 1-0 (4th shutout in 6 games), taking LM to 5-1 overall & 2-1 in league play.
Next week has the Aces hosting Strath Haven on Monday and Penncrest on Thursday (both games 3:45 PM).
