Edgar Hernandez Mosqueda notched his ninth shutout of the season.
Leland's Liam Sweeney stops a sure Glen Lake goal Wednesday.
Leland (9-4-2) is now 5-0 in the Northwest Conference. The Division 4 No. 4-ranked Comets travel Saturday to No. 1 Grosse Pointe Liggett.
"The Laker boys played well tonight," Glen Lake head coach Jared Boynton said. "We came up just short in a 1-0 loss to Leland. Anthony Forton had 3 saves tonight and did an excellent job picking up and catching balls in the box. Glen Lake fought hard and went toe-to-toe with a very good Leland squad. The Lakers were able to create many chances; they couldn't find the back of the net."
Glen Lake (10-4-1, 4-2 NWC) travels Friday to Manistee and the Comets (9-4-2) will face Grosse Point Woods University Liggett in a state championship rematch Saturday.
