Last post of the evening for me....... St. Louis advances to A-10 final with a 1-0 win over Davidson. not an action filled contest.......St. Louis had 3 shots on goal and Davidson had only 1 As a result of the win, St. Louis moves up from 27 RPI to 23 RPI St. Louis is now 10-2-6 and they will play Dayton (8-2-7 record) in the A10 final as of 10:30 tonight, Dayton RPI is #98 with 4 of the 5 zip opponents.....advancing to their conference finals tonight, the ZIPS moved up 1 spot in RPI the Mighty Zips are now #8 in RPI Indiana was #8 before tonight. at 10:30 tonight, Indiana is #9 in RPI Indiana's regular season is done as they went 5-5 in the Big Ten and did not qualify for their conference tournament. Indiana in the Big Ten lost to 5-8-3 Michigan State. When they did not play Indiana, Michigan State had a record of 1-5-3 in the Big Ten. Michigan State is currently 89 in RPI. Indiana also lost to Northwestern. When they were not playing Indiana, Northwestern had a record of 2-5-2 in the Big Ten. as I have said before....if Georgetown or Akron win the Big East tournament, the Big East tournament winner must get a top 8 seed. the NCAA committee always seeds IU higher than their RPI.....but a mediocre team in the Big Ten does not deserve a top 10 seed in the NCAA

absolutely love that Dublin Jerome......used the A-Roo logo in the announcement the BEST Zip Logo, ever !!!!

Marshall advanced to the SunBelt conference final with a PK goal at 109:24.....to give them a huge 3-2 win over West Virginia PK was very legitimate...very clear handball on West Virginia in the box St. Louis still leads 1-0 at 80 the huge national upset tonight was Maryland suffering their first loss of the year in the Big Ten conference semis UCLA was 52 in RPI when their game started against Maryland . Maryland was 3 in RPI at the start of their game at 10 pm eastern time, UCLA jumps up to 35 in RPI. Maryland drops to #6.

Western Michigan advanced to Missouri valley final with a 5-4 win on PK’s i think they will play at Evansville Saturday night for league title West Virginia and Marshall still tied at 109 minutes St Louis leading 1-0 at 65

a big relief....for Zips RPI Vermont golden goal at 97:40...to give them a 2-1 win over #113 in RPI Vermont will host Bryant...in American East final at 8:30 tonight, Bryant was #4 in RPI and Vermont was #5 in RPI West Virginia and Marshall headed to OT... Western Michigan is tied 1-1 at 99 minutes

Very exciting night of conference semifinal action Cleveland State advances to Horizon league final with a 2-0 win over Robert Morris Western Michigan and Drake are currently tied 1-1 at 89 St. Louis leads Davidson 1-0 at 37 #12 Marshall and #17 West Virginia tied 2-2 at 80 I have been watching New Hampshire at Vermont on ESPN +...they are headed to Overtime New Hampshire has 5-7-5 record ...and is 113 in RPI Vermont is 12-0-5.....#5 in RPI NH scored at 9 minutes Vermont equalized at 85.... Vermont leads 23-7 in shots , 11-1 in corner kicks let's go catamount,s broncos and moutaineers

Zips were 19 in last week's coaches ranking.... Zips jump up to 14 in this week's ranking Georgetown at 15 and UConn is #26 https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ if Akron or Georgetown win the Big East conference tournament, it is my opinion that one of those 2 teams would deserve a top 8 NCAA tournament seed.

From very limited research...I think that 7 of the 17 teams that the Zips played this year......will play conference semi final games this week. Below is the schedule....for the 7 games...I am picking up the game times by going to the NCAA scores website... Hopefully, they have good info Wednesday November 12th West Virginia 12-3-3 record ....will play 3 seed Marshall in Sun Belt Conference semi - 7 pm Cleveland State 7-3-6 record...I think they are the top seed...they will play 5 seed Robert Morris in Horizon League Semi 4 pm game time Western Michigan 6-9-3 record.....they will play 2 seed Drake in MVC semi...7 pm Vermont with an impressive 12-0-5 record...they will play 4 seed New Hampshire in semifinal - 7:30 pm St. Louis....very good 9-2-6 record (only 2 losses - Akron and Indiana)...they will play 4 seed Davidson in A10 semi - 8 pm Thursday November 13th Cornell 12-2-2 record.....will face 3 seed Penn in Ivy League Semi - 3:30 pm Mighty Akron 11-3-3 will have a rematch with UConn 10-3-4 - 5 pm Season over for these zip opponents VCU 6-6-5 Northern Kentucky 4-10-3 Ohio State 6-10-0 Butler 5-10-2 St. John's 9-5-4 DePaul 2-8-7 Seton Hall 7-3-7 Xavier 5-6-4 Marquette 7-7-2 Creighton 8-4-4

I can;t access the article below as I don't subscribe I believe that Will had to play a certain number of games in 2025...for his contract to be picked up for 2026. He played in more games than needed....so Wil be part of Minnesota United for 2026 https://www.twincities.com/2025/10/24/michael-boxall-wil-trapp-to-return-to-minnesota-united-in-2026/

WVA dropped from 12 to 15......after winning on PK's against Old Dominion Stanford lost Sunday night 1-0 to SMU (while the game was going on, Stanford sat at 10 in RPI and SMU was at 21 in RPI) as of 10:30 Sunday night, SMU(after the win) jumped all the way to number 10 in RPI Stanford, which was at #9 on Saturday night....dropped to #11 on Sunday night NC State also lost on Sunday night. They got roughed up 3-0 by Syracuse in the ACC quarterfinals as of 10:30 Sunday night, NC State is #13 in RPI and Syracuse jumped all the way up to #30 in RPI as of 10:30......Sunday Night.... the Mighty ZIPS are #9 in RPI

Sunday November 9th afternoon games in a very sparsely attended Missouri Valley conference quarterfinal game 6 seed Western Michigan got a 2-0 win at 3 seed Northern Illinois Sunbelt Conference quarterfinal West Virginia was less than impressive at home. They battled 7 seed Old Dominion to a 2-2 draw. West Virginia advances to the semis with a 5-4 win in PK's Old Dominion finishes the year with a record of 5-5-7. WVA will play the winner of Marshall vs. Georgia State in the semis.

Saturday November 8 only 1 game involving a zips opponent number 23 (coaches ranking) Cornell got a 1-0 win over Columbia Cornell win moved them up to 21 in RPI Cornell move dropped UConn from 21 to 22 in RPI. Some games tomorrow….that could impact the Zips RPI. Zips are currently 11 in RPI interesting games on Sunday West Virginia is currently number 12 in RPI. WVA hosts number 103 Old Dominion at 3. Stanford is currently number 9 in RPI. The Cardinal play an ACC QF game tomorrow at 8 against number 23 (RPI) SMU. NC State is currently number 10 in RPI. The Wolfpack also play an ACC QF game - Sunday at 6 against number 43 Syracuse.

very cool....that you were part of the very large Zip cheering section. It was great to see Zip Alum Ray Szabat as part of the crowd.

Non Big East scores.....that will impact the Zips RPI Northwestern was 2-5-2 in the Big Ten before tonight....Tonight, NW got a 2-1 over Ohio State Dayton got a 4-2 win over VCU #24 St. Louis got a 2-0 win over LaSalle

So many players had big games....... Captain Daragh Reilly might have had his best game in a zips uniform. Matthew Paiva was also awesome in back. Credit to the zips coaching staff. They changed the momentum of the game in the first half when they substituted Jack Sullivan for Remi. Stefan is so versatile. Stefan was able to move to the forward position and that allowed Thomas O'Rourke and Jack Roman to excel as the outside wingers. Phenomenal improvement this year for both Thomas and Jack. The coaching staff made a great decision at half time to stick with Stefan up top and the 2 youngsters at wingers. Jack Sullivan and Tyler Morck both made some excellent passes during the game. I liked the coaching staff decision late in the game to bring in another strong defender (Jamai Royer). Great game by the players and the coaching staff. Stefan Dobrijevic has to be selected to the Big East first team all conference. Stefan has had a great senior season. 11 shutouts this year for Mitch. Best keeper in the Big East. Finally, while I thought that several Creighton players (esp. #7 and #11) were thuggish and cry babies.....I do have to give Creighton broadcasters credit for interviewing Thomas O'Rourke and Coach Embick after the game.

nice to see Remi back in the starting lineup full season Starter Jose Pedro is not in lineup

Akron would lose out in a 3 way tie with UConn and Providence.... Under the scenario, you mention.........Akron needs St. John's to win as well as Seton Hall and Georgetown Akron would claim the 4th spot in a 4 team tie Let's make all of this moot !!!!! Beat Creighton !!!!

zips also make it with a draw........and a Seton Hall win.....and a Providence tie Providence and Akron would finish tied with 14 points if UConn wins tonight and Providence and Akron draw tonight, Akron loses tiebreaker to Providence in that case Akron would win tiebreaker with a draw Plus PC tie and SHU wins  PC and Akron tied at 14 points • Common Opponents: SHU; XU; SJU; MU; UC; DPU o PC 3-2-1 (10P); Akron 3-2-1 (10P) • Common Opponents Standing Order: SHU o PC Lost, Akron Tied  Akron No. 4 seed, PC OUT If Providence loses, Akron draws...and UConn and Seton Hall play to a draw.....Akron does not make the tournament Plus PC Loss and SHU/UConn Ties  SHU/Akron/UConn tied at 14 points • Mini Conference: UConn 1-0-1 (4P), SHU 0-0-2 (2P), AKR 0-1-1 (1P) o UConn No. 3 seed  Akron and SHU still tied return to tiebreaker 1 • Tied head-to-head • Common Opponents: UConn L/T; SJU L/W; MU W/W, CU T/T o SHU 2-0-2 (8P), Akron 1-2-1 (4P)  SHU No. 4 seed; Akron OUT

that is correct...even with a win.....St. John's loses all tiebreakers St. John’s (3-3-1, 10 PTS) (vs. Butler) ^OUT • With a Win, 13 Points o UConn/SHU Tie  SJU OUT o PC Win or Tie  SJU OUT o Akron/CU Tie  SJU Out o Akron Win  SJU Out o UConn Win, PC Loss, Akron Loss  SJU, SHU, PC and Akron tied at 13 Points • Common Opponent: UConn • SJU lost; Akron Lost, Providence Tied, SHU Lost o PC No. 4 seed, SHU, SJU and Akron OUT o SHU Win, PC Loss, Akron Loss  SJU, UConn, PC and Akron tied at 13 points • Common Opponent: SHU • SJU lost; Akron Tied, Providence Lost, UConn Lost o Akron No. 4 seed, UC, SJU and PC OUT

Mitch Budler said in the press conference (after last week's game) that there would be roughly 100 Budler family and friends at the game.

zips move up one spot in soccer coaches rankings #19 this week https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/
