TennZip Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 AKRON, Ohio -- Akron soccer coach Jared Embick got half the news he expected from the NCAA Tournament selection committee when the Zips were paired against Ohio State, Thursday in Columbus. The start time has yet to be announced."I thought that's who we would get,'' Embick said. "But I thought it would be here."The unseeded Zips are coming off a 13-6-1 season complete with Mid-American Conference regular-season and MAC Tournament titles. They also defeated the Buckeyes, 3-1, earlier this season at Columbus.Should the Zips get past unseeded OSU (9-7-4), a road match at No. 1 seed Notre Dame awaits on Sunday at 7 p.m. in South Bend, Indiana."Of course we wanted a high seed,'' Akron midfielder Adam Najem said after the announcement. "But now we will go about our business and keep advancing. We've been there before and know what we have to do. It is a good draw for us."
