Yeah I wasnt planning on taking off my gloves for the whole match 😂 what a game! On to the elite 8!

They are being produced by the same group as last year.

Every Zip coach and every Zip player should be very proud. Phenomenal effort....especially with the injury of Stefan Dobrijevic ...early in the game Thinking good thoughts for Stefan Duke did not have a single shot on goal. Zips were the much more skilled soccer team and the much classier, professional soccer team. I don't slight any zip by mentioning names......as all of the starters were outstanding..... and every single sub....starting with Ignacio Alem and Jack Sullivan....ending with Jamai Royer, Nathan Ferguson and Braxton Hayes.....played outstanding fundament soccer. Thorough beat down of an ACC Powerhouse...... For the zips fans living far from Akron, I also want to compliment Chad Welker and womens asst soccer Josh Kay. Josh and Chad were outstanding on commentary.

Nice win!,

Zips Win!!!! On to the Elite Eight!

Awful. You just can't lose by 27 at home to a regional rival regardless of who the coach is.

phenomenal work by Jack Sullivan and Remi

GOOOOAAAAALLLLL! 2-0

All is quiet here. Everyone must be either at the game or watching on ESPN+. In any case, it is great to be up 1-0 at home in poor weather against a southern team that is likely focused on getting and staying warm.

You actually found a place worse than Detroit.

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLL! 1-0 Zips.

Go, Zips !!!

I would love to have it in Canton, but with no Dome makes it impossible.....

Definitely possible.

Akron loses big to the coach they fired who started 2 freshmen and 2 sophomores, with 4 of their 5 starters being Ohio recruits. Big yikes.

Move it to Brook Park once new stadium is built.

I want that too! However lets get 3 teams in(JMU, AAC Champ, UNLV). I know that it will not happen, but plausible

72-47 at the end of three.

I feel it may be time to move the MAC title game back to the top seed's home field.

I think there's a very very real chance of this. Chaos reigns supreme!

If Duke wins it gets really interesting because the playoffs guarantee to the 5 highest rated conference champions, and JMU and either Tulane/North Texas would likely be rated higher than Duke. But I think you're right if JMU loses, UNLV could sneak in there.

Thanks Chat GPT.

This is a 2026 thing but... If we get Duke, Troy, and UNLV Conference champions, UNLV at 11-2 (having avenged one of the 2) is a very possible playoff team Which means Akron could possibly host a playoff team next year.
