So, while I became a fan of the Aces early last year, before they showed us what they could do, I only recently discovered that they are in fact professional. Considering they were the breakout team last year, might be nice to have a thread to keep track of them this time around, hmm? Preseason results so far: 2-0 vs HBU 3-0 vs UofH 1-7 vs Houston Dash 5-1 vs Lamar As has been noted in other threads, they've been invited to the USASA national amateur championships in MD; they've also included the Open Cup in FL in their schedule, so I assume they've applied to be included there, and the also have two friendlies against FCI on top of their regular 10-game WPSL schedule. Nice lineup of games, though I feel sorry for how absolutely packed their June is.... 7 WPSL games, plus three or four Open Cup games!
Well, the Aces are certainly having a tougher season than they did last year! 1-1 vs A&M 0-0 vs Lonestar SC (to be fair, Lonestar combined three of their teams for this result) 0-1 vs FCI (return leg June 3rd!) After playing the entire preseason so far on the road, the Aces will have two home preseason games (rematch against Lonestar and then FCD's ECNL team) before opening WPSL play against the visiting Liverpool Dallas.
In the Women's Amateur Championship, they'll be playing the host ASA Chesapeake Charge Friday, May 23, at 6:30 pm.
