2017 spring season for the zips


Recommended Posts

the zips will be in Pittsburgh on Feb. 25

hopefully, several fans from the Akron/Cleveland area will make the trip to Pittsburgh to cheer on the zips...and my favorite all time Zip holding midfielder....(Victor Souto- now playing for the Riverhounds)

I know that Akron has not yet released their spring schedule.......

 

However, it is worth reminding everyone that the zips will be playing the Pittsburgh Riverhounds Saturday Feb. 25 at 1 pm at Highmark Stadium

That is 2 short weeks from tomorrow.

   I am sure that Nick Hinds, Ben Lundt, Niko deVera, Nate Shultz, Sam Gainford, Stuart Holthusen, Manel Cordeiro, Pau Belana, and many other zips will be working hard and want to see a lot of zip fans make the short trip to Pittsburgh.

   Dec. 2016 Univ. of Akron Summa Cum Laude Graduate Victor Souto is working hard and learning for the Riverhounds as he competes for a starting position with the riverhounds.

In addition to our returning players, I'm looking forward to meeting and seeing Morgan Hackworth in action with the Zips.

So who went today and can give us a report?

It was cold.

Contrasting styles.  ND is very direct, to great efficacy.  Akron held the ball.  ND always pushes forward, with long diagonal passes.  Same as last year.  Think West Bromwich vs, Arsenal.

 

Holthusen, Zajac, and De Vera were keys.

Pau and Ezana scored. 2-1 Zips over ND final.

 

 

As I recall (correct me if necessary):

Starters (4-4-2 or 4-3-3; Skye may have been up front)

Nick Costa

Nate Shultz, Shane Wiedt, Reggie Laryea, Nico DeVera,

Jackson Crawford, Marcel Zajac, Pau Belana, Skye Harter,

Sam Gainford, Stuart Holthusen

 

Reggie went down and Morgan Hackworth replaced him during 1st half

0-0 at half

Pau scored shortly into the 2nd half

Ezana Kahsay came in for Jackson Crawford several minutes into the 2nd half

ND tied it

EZ scored

2-1 Zips final

 

There was no clock since we were on the practice field and I didn't look at my watch to estimate when the scores occurred.

You have the personnel right, but the formation was 4-2-3-1.

This is evidenced by the shape taken after we lost the ball, when we dropped back.

This is not to say that we will keep this formation, though I prefer it.  Embick likes being able to use multiple formations, as would a professional side.

Kahsay subbed for Crawford, taking LM and moving Gainford to CM.

I sure hope Reggie Laryea will recover by April 9th.  He was doing well before he walked off gingerly.  Joe Korb saw first action at RB, late in the contest.

 

                   Holhusen

 

Gainford     Crawford     Zajac

                   (Kahsay)

 

            Harter              Belana

 

De Vera     Weidt     Laryea     Shultz

                             (Hackworth)

 

                     Costa

I saw this tweet this morning ....and it reminded me that Skye and his zip teammates have a spring game on campus this Sunday against Cleveland State

  I assume that the game will be at Cub Cadet field....since they have not issued any tweet about the game being at the practice field
