Surprised and disappointed that the team won't be visiting Santa Barbara in the regular season when the College Cup is destined for Harder Stadium. But, it's nice to be in the UW Tournament. Not sure when the program last played in Seattle. We did play both UW and Portland at UP in 2000. UP roster included All-America Kelly Gray and Conor Casey (who was at the Olympics and didn't play). Washington I recall defeated Akron 4-0, while Portland scored I think 3 first half goals, then we came back to tie them in the second half. Someone contact Steve Zakuani!

Let'sGoZips94 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 What percentage of the OOC schedule is teams that made the tourney last year? Looks to be pretty high, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not rely on the press release for the answer to your question. the press release says: The University of Akron men's soccer team unveiled a challenging 2018 slate, one that will see the Zips face six opponents from the 2017 NCAA Tournament field sixth-year head coach Jared Embick announced today. we know that Western Michigan made the tournament...so the press release would indicate that only 5 of the 12 conference teams made last year's NCAA tourney the correct answer is that there are 8 teams on the zips schedule that made the 2017 NCAA tourney (7 non - conf and WMU) Butler -yes NC State - yes Pitt NO Seattle - yes Washington - yes Connecticut NO Grand Canyon NO VCU - yes Syracuse NO Mich. State- yes Creighton NO Notre Dame - yes I would expect both Creighton and Syracuse to be back in the NCAA this year...and Pitt has a highly rated recruiting class also.....if you look at the press release...check out the paragraph on opening up MAC play against the Falcons...really poor press release by the soccer SID 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 this is the very inaccurate paragraph that I am talking about:(they play at Bowling Green on October 6) Akron opens up defense of its 2017 MAC Tournament crown on Oct. 6 at Western Michigan. The Zips edged the Falcons, 2-1, in overtime on Oct. 21, 2017 at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look no further than the 2017 College Cup shield being used in the graphic for inaccuracies in the release. I was going off memory, and I guess I mixed in a few typical NCAA Tournament teams with last year's participants - Creighton, Syracuse, UCONN.

TennZip Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Z.I.P. and Marc from Santa Barbara will like this change...as they will be able to see game on pac 12 network will be good publicity for the zips...might help them with west coast recruits A @ZipsMSoc schedule change to pass along, the Zips' contest at Washington on Sept. 9 will now begin at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) and will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
