Blast From The Past: 2000 - 2009


Despite having many outstanding teams from the 1st decade of the 2000s, the 2007 team was the cream of the crop. They won both the Central League Title and the District One Title, before getting upset in the 1st round of the State Playoffs 2-1 to Central Dauphin. They recorded an amazing overall record of 20-2-2, and out scored their opponents 70-19.

The Aces' offense that year was led by Central League MVP, All South East-PA selection, and NSCAA All-Region pick junior Greg Robbins. Fellow All Central League 1st team pick junior Danny DiLullo was also a prolific scorer, as well up front standouts All Central League HM pick junior Jordan O'Brandt, senior Johnny Fleisher & sophomore Julien Aoyamo.

LM also had one of the best midfields in the Central League, led by 2nd team All-Central League selection junior Eric Stahler. Other strong performers were seniors Dan Savaria & Tim Adams and sophomore standouts Jordan Wolf, Alex Cope, & Max Tassano.

The defense, anchored by goalkeepers junior Justin Corrado & sophmore Jack van Adelsberg, had a multitude of riches. All-Central League HM picks Senior Kevin Escott & junior Jason Kass were the captains of this outstanding unit, with 1st team All-Central League selection junior Nick Bibbs able to be effective at any position. Other strong performers were senior Peter Vagnoni, junior Jake Eisenhardt, sophomores Johnny Dolezal & Stephen Prifti, and their 2 super freshmen backs Michael Lemonick & David Rosenfeld.
