The zips received 1 point (a 25th place vote) when the US soccer coaches did their pre season poll.
The zips will step on the field as decided under dogs in several games this year. Diogo, Jason, Will Jackson, Carlo, Daniel, Dyson, Will Portman, Renato Kauzlaric, Ryan Kingsford, Malik Henry , Tobias Bak . Wan Kuzri, a very talented goal keeper and the 22 other zips are going to have to prove that they are top 25 team to their opponents and the US soccer coaches.
That being said, Wright State is a quality team. The zips need a big crowd for the home opener on August 26 and this unproven team needs to get a home win and a road win at E. Lansing. START PROVING IT on Aug 26 and Aug. 29......Soccer Zips.
Looking down the road, both polls have last year's college cup semifinalist Pitt ranked at #3. The first article says that Pitt returns 10 out of 11 starters from that high powered offensive team. Not sure when the students return........but the zips marketing department......needs to be working overtime....to get the AK rowdies out in force for that game. Cub Cadet Field at FES.....needs to be packed for that Akron - Pittsburgh game
