This instagram post is from September 16.... However, it just popped up tonight in my instagram news feed. https://www.instagram.com/p/DdWLzN-RfHr/ Welcome to Akron soccer, Hugo Enander. It is late...so I have done very limited research. It appears that Hugo is a 6'1 forward. He also plays for Darlington Soccer academy (the recruit that I posted about on Tuesday..also plays for that academy) It appears that the academy is sometimes known as Southern Soccer academy. Hugo's Hometown is listed as Nassau, New Providence (Bahamas). His recruiting profile says he was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Hugo is also mentioned in the article below. It appears that Darlington soccer academy did very well in 2026 in MLS next cup. https://www.darlingtonschool.org/news/u17-soccer-academy-ranked-third-in-the-nation-following-mls-next-cup-run

Thursday October 15 Creighton and Xavier finished in a 1-1 tie. I believe that both teams now have 2 wins and 3 ties. Hopefully, Georgetown will win against Creighton when the two teams play. Xavier dominated the statistics in tonight’s game. 18-5 on shots 7-4 on SOG 7-3 in corner kicks

Writeup from Providence web site Providence is 4-0-1 this year at home. Akron and Providence have only played once before. A 3-3 tie at Akron in 2023. https://friars.com/news/2026/10/14/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-hosts-no-9-akron-for-big-east-matchup

I had to go back to December 1, 2025 to find this topic.... of course, Ivory Covington enrolled in Akron a full year early and started in August 26. I have been told that Lazar Ivanis was very impressive this past summer in playing for Akron City FC. Yesterday, the Zips added another 2027 recruit. Welcome to Akron soccer....Mr. Lance Carroll Lance is a 6'4 center back from Rome, Georgia. He was born in the Bahamas and has already made multiple appearances for the Bahamas men's national team. I am looking forward to seeing Lance and Lazar in zips blue and gold. Go, Zips !!! https://www.instagram.com/p/DeaYeBrGNCa/?img_index=1

Congratulations to Matthew Paiva for winning Big East defensive player of the week It is a travesty that Matthew is not on the mid year Hermann Trophy watch list.

This is a great interview. It is great that he gave Ger and Michael a chance to answer so many questions. It is great to see the passion from all 3 coaches.

Brett had big shoes (Mitch Budler) to fill. Brett has been very good this year. Matthew Paiva should be one of the leading candidates for Big East Defensive player of the year. Goals get the attention but I would argue that Matthew Paiva is the team MVP so far this year.

Francisco Tolaba only played 17 minutes but he made a tremendous pass. Remi really used his strength credit to both young men for creating magic

at 9:50, the zips are up to #10 in RPI
