  1. zips #42 in RPI (as of Wednesday morning) https://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI Rank
  2. Stanford and Marshall deserve to be number 1 and 2 in the news coaches poll Akron was #9 in last week's poll.... they are #5 in this week's coaches poll 🤔 https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/
  3. Credit to Josef Paulus for being a leader....and trying to inspire some of his teammates that did not want to be on the field last night. On the broadcast, Chad Welker raved about the great attendance. Attendance was 1,198. I am sad to see how much expectations have been lowered for men's soccer. I don't know how many of the 1,198 fans were first time attendees. After last night's lethargic, disinterested performance by the zips, I suspect that most of the first time attendees will not come back to see another Zips men's soccer game. Please get healthy, very soon....Dyson Clapier. You were greatly missed last night.
  4. I am really beginning to worry about the zips RPI the Big East teams are not having a good year. Georgetown and Fordham played to a 3-3 tie Penn State 2 St. John's 0 Butler and Western Michigan played to a 0-0 tie Michigan State and Villanova played to a 1-1 tie DePaul and Northwestern played to a 1-1 tie Marquette did beat Harvard 1-0 UConn defeated Siena 3-1 Providence won the battle of Rhode Island by beating Rhode Island 2-1 Xavier at home defeated Cleveland State 1-0 Seton Hall lost 1-0 to Indiana. Creighton is losing 2-1 right now to Denver at half time In results involving.....zips opponents... Bowling Green did something that Akron could not do....Bowling Green defeated Michigan 2-1 Akron's next Opponent....LIU defeated VMI 4-0 Niagara tonight....lost 6-1 to Stonehill..... Vermont beat Colgate 2-0 if you want to look at some comparison scores this season last Friday night...Wisconsin Green Bay defeated Southern Indiana University 7-0 tonight, the Zips defeated Southern Indiana 1-0 tonight, Wisconsin Green Bay played perennial ACC last place team Boston College Wisconsin Green Bay and Boston College played to a 0-0 tie tonight
  5. Nice to see Mitch Budler....healthy no Dyson Clapier in lineup
  6. Top drawer soccer has Vermont at #10 and Akron at #16 Hello ???? anyone home at Top Drawer soccer ?????
  7. I agree with Fknbuflobo. His response is not talking about the last 10 years. All zips fans should be very happy with the great results from 2015 to 2018. In those 4 years, the zips went to 3 final fours and reached the final in 2018. The coaching staff for those 4 years was Coach Embick, Leo Chappell, TJ Kolba and Ger Coppenger. Leo Chappell departed the zips team late in the 2018 season and TJ Kolba left after the 2018 season to go to Michigan State. The results in the last 4 years (with Michael Nanchoff joining Jared and Ger) have come no where close to the results achieved by the coaching staff from 2015-2018. Yes, you can say that zips mens soccer fans have become spoiled. The zips team of 2021...lost their last 3 games to Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and Santa Clara. Zips fans expect better than to lose to Santa Clara in the NCAA tournament. Recruiting classes have still been ranked in the top 10 or top 15. Yet, the on field results have not been what zips fan have expected. The 2021 and 2022 teams both gave up a lot of goals on corner kicks and both teams scored almost no goals on corner kicks. I am writing this response after watching the zips get dominated in the first half on a Friday night by a Michigan team that is picked to finish dead last in the Big Ten. Yes, I would agree that Fknbuflobo's post is controversial. Everyone who knows anything about zips soccer history.....loves and worships the entire Nanchoff family. However, the facts clearly show that Michael Nanchoff has been part of the zips coaching staff for 4 years and that Ger Coppenger has been the lead assistant for 4 years and the zips have won 0 tournament games. One year, the zips did not even make the 4 team MAC tournament. With the talent on this team, the mens coaching staff needs to focus on their own team. I have never seen a women's soccer match in person. All I will say.....is that Noreen Herlihy left her successor a pile of manure. Larry Williams and Charles Guthrie should never have allowed Herlihy to be the zips coach and still live in the Pittsburgh area. I know that the poor Akron U financial picture had an impact on Guthrie not firing Herlihy outright after the 2021 season...because the zips could not to afford to pay Herlihy for the 2022 season (when Larry W. had dumbly given her a multi year extension). However, an excellent Athletic director would have found the funds to fire Herlihy after the 2021 season. If your response had said, I want women's soccer to emulate the zips coaching staff from 2015-2018, I would be more comfortable with your reply. This current coaching staff does not have time to help the women. This coaching staff needs to focus on this year's team. None of us want to see Will Jackson leave Akron U. as a starter for 5 years and to have never won an NCAA tournament game. Jared, Ger and Michael need to focus on the men's team.
  8. Started their season with 3-1 loss to IUPUI then lost 2-0 to Mercer Yesterday, the screaming eagles lost 7-0 to Wisconsin Green Bay.
  9. Georgetown lost last weekend to Stanford. Georgetown bounced back tonight with a 4-1 win over #8 Pitt Seton Hall from the Big East beat the Ohio State University tonight 1-0 Marquette continued their fast start with a 6-0 win over Detroit Mercy. Marshall continues to look like a title contender as they put a 3-0 beatdown on Big East team Xavier. scores added on Saturday morning Grand Canyon 2 Creighton 1 LIU 2 Connecticut 0 Hofstra 4 Providence 2 St. Jon's 1 Monmouth 0 In non big east top team action #1 Syracuse and #20 Penn State played to 1-1 tie Wisconsin Badgers with the upset of the night....1-0 win over number 2 Kentucky #7 FIU and Central Arkansas played to 0-0 tie
  10. Zips coaches again made some effective changes at half time. Even before the red card at 29, Gyuwon Chong was touching the ball more. Chong earned a foul at top of the box at 29....which led to Michigan player getting 2nd yellow At the start of the 2nd half, Malik Henry moved to right back and Johnny Fitzgerald came in at right winger Sammy did not start the game....He had strong 2nd half in the middle of the field. Zips were not dangerous at all on corner kicks Late in the game, the zips offense was totally right side dominant due to having a good offensive player at right back (Malik Henry) Dyson again was having to come way too far up the field to get the ball Even though shots showed 4-4 in first half, Michigan pressed and they totally dominated. Akron had huge advantage in 2nd half.
  11. Michigan was picked to finish last in the Big Ten https://bigten.org/news/2023/8/21/general-maryland-tabbed-as-mens-soccer-preseason-favorite.aspx
  12. Michigan red card at 29 ...2 yellows Shooky just stripped the GK at 21 goal Shooky
  13. horrible tentative long pass......into the middle of the field.....by Will Jackson.....led to the penalty in the box Michigan right winger is much quicker than Will Jackson. Will Jackson got a yellow early in the game as he had to grab guy to prevent breakaway Michigan announcers felt that Will Jackson should have been called for a 2nd yellow in the box about 25 minutes into the game Michigan totally dominated first half.... Most of Akron possession is on Seth Wilson side of the field... Wan Kuzri Wan Kamal is only midfielder....touching the ball Gyuwon Chong and Josef Paulus have barely touched the ball.... Akron having to resort to long ball attempts to get ball over midfield
  14. Michigan has dominated the first 28 minutes zips struggling to get ball over midfield
  15. Game will be broadcast on Big Ten Plus..... Michigan comes into the game with a 1-0-1 record. In their first game,. they tied Loyola Marymount 1-1 Loyola Marymount must be a pretty good team. In their 2nd game, LMU upset #15 Virginia 3-1. Loyola Marymount Ryan Kingsford (yes, the former zip) led the lions with 2 goals In the Michigan vs. LMU game, LMU led 11-9 in shots and 5-3 in shots on goals. Both teams had 5 corner kicks. In their 2nd game, Michigan defeated Cal Baptist 2-0. Cal Baptist lost their first game 3-0 to West Virginia.
  16. Akron was 22 in the coaches pre season poll. Vermont was 12 in the pre season poll. Their drop to number 22 seems kind of harsh. There are not 21 college soccer teams that are better than Vermont. That is one very good college soccer team. September 11 Zip opponent Florida International was number 21 in the preseason poll. FIU jumped up to 7 after a 2-1 win over Oregon State and a 4-0 win over VCU.
  17. 1,618 at the game last night.... nice improvement over the 1,174 at home opener.. article in the Beacon https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2023/08/29/ncaa-mens-soccer-university-of-akron-zips-vermont-dyson-clapier-malik-henry-coach-jared-embick-ohio/70705278007/ "This is a very good win," Akron coach Jared Embick said. "Vermont has got the belief and experience back from the Elite Eight, and you could feel that I think in the start. The start of the game for us, we were probably a little too tense and then we got a little better as the half went on. Said Clapier: "This shows that we can compete with anyone in the nation. This is a signature win against a top 10 opponent. Vermont is a heck of a team."
  18. Zips coaching staff deserves a lot of credit. They made some very good in game adjustments. Bringing in Ashton Kamdem to play right back...and moving Malik Henry up the field....was a great in game adjustment. Gyuwon Chong did not start the game but he started the 2nd half. He had a big impact on the game Seth Wilson made an outstanding save with 15 minutes to go in the first half. Malik Henry pass to Dyson Clapier....was very special.... Malik Henry was a key guy to help break the tremendous Vermont pressure in the first half. Zips could not break the pressure on the left side.....but Malik Henry speed and skill opened up the right side for the zips. Zips do have to get better on the left defense back side offensively. Dyson is having to come too far up the field to get the ball. Tremendous credit to Dyson Clapier for being a team player late in the game and coming back to help Will Jackson defend on the left side. Vermont is an outstanding team. They brought great pressure and were good with their passes. Malik Henry is my Man of the Match........but again, I really have to credit the coaching staff for making major changes to the lineup at halftime. With the horrible FloFC camera angles, I could not tell you who was playing where in the midfield for the Zips. I think that Joey Paulus moved at halftime to replace Captain Sammy Tojaga as Holding midfielder. Joey Paulus....has improved tremendously as a ZIP. Excellent team win.
  19. FLO FC stinks..... they are doing the starting lineups now with sound only live stats show that the game is 3 minutes and 24 seconds into the game picture finally came in at 2:52..according to live stats still showing lineups and and game is now at 4:35
  20. Vermont is up to #7....in this week's top drawer soccer top 25 Zips at #21 Stanford was so impressive in the first week.... in the coaches's pre season poll. Stanford was #7 ...and they played #8 Creighton and #17 Georgetown in the first week Stanford beat Creighton 3-1 and they took Georgetown to the woodshed....5-1 https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men
