Blast From The Past - 1990

 

The most dominant Aces’ team in the 90’s was the 1990 squad. They won the Central League Title, LM’s 5^th in the previous 7 years, and despite losing their top scorer, All-America selection Lou Spivak, they were still the highest scoring team in the Central League.

Senior center midfielder John Howard, along with senior Rune Jensen & sophmore sensation Will Kohler, led the offense to a 50 goal season. Alex Gorman, Alex Soufflas, Mike Mandarino & Brian Hart each came up with many key goals up front as well. Mike Rotman & David Abrams solidified the midfield unit.

Meanwhile, at the defensive end, goalkeepers Joey DeBona & junior Kevin Holt held the opposition to 14 total goals in 20 games, including 12 shutouts, the lowest total for an LM team in the previous 15 years. A big reason for this was their strength down the middle, with junior sweeperback Kevin Clark & senior stopperback Ian Blasco putting up a wall in front of the net. Holding down the wingback positions were Andy Beckford, Alex Goodman, Michael Mark,  & Noah Grassi.

With a final overall record of 15-2-3, the ’90 Aces were ranked as high as #2 in Southeastern PA before they lost a heartbreaker to West Chester Henderson 2-1 in the District One quarter-finals, giving up 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.
