From Coach Ed Berberich: The soccer Aces continued with a tough stretch of games, traveling to Mt Vernon and losing 7-0. The Rams scored 3 goals in what was a fairly closely contested first half, but then added 4 in the 2nd to come away with the win.
I've said this about multiple games so far this year but this was another match where the final score doesn't tell the whole story. Outside of the Robinson match we've come out with energy & effort in these games & usually play a solid 1st half against what have been some good teams. It's usually the 2nd halves that are killing us because we're just wearing down as these games go on. With very few subs for every game this year, usually just 2 or 3, we're asking a lot of these guys out there. The teams we've played have been better than us, as we're still inexperienced & learning, but we've made them earn it. We just don't have the stamina & the bodies yet to be able to do that for the whole match. If we keep playing with effort in practices and games we should keep improving. As our conditioning gets better & we start getting some more players available we hope to be able to go further in these games.
The Aces only get 1 night off before they're back at it, playing Harrisburg at home on Saturday at 11 am.
