Nicer drive / ride back to Columbus for Evan whose alma mater got the better of Schulte's. 😁

Great match tonight from the Zips! When we dominate a top-10 team like that, I wonder if the other team is overrated or were underrated. I think we're underrated, obviously. Also, great to see former Zip and current Crew goalkeeper, Evan Bush in attendance. Along with fellow Crew goalkeeper and USMNT goalkeeper, Patrick Schulte.

Passing thoughts on the game b/c I have nothing better to do: Forget the rankings, the Zips are a top ten team. If what we saw from SLU was true to them, they are not a top 20 team. Akron was the far better team tonight. Our MF's were outstanding, especially in the first half They won the 50/50 balls They set up many beautiful shooting opportunities They filled the passing lanes so well SLU rarely put together more that 2 passes They repeatedly played the ball on the ground out of severe pressure. Having Freddy returning to the backline steadied the defense. I wish he was in there against UConn. The character of this team was on full display. They showed no fear of SLU or memory of having lost the last two. This team is confident and proud, but not arrogant. Jack Roman has emerged as a threat every time he has the ball. Coming from the wing he will force teams to widen their back four. Mitch and Ashton are both 1st team All-Americans. They will play in MLS. Matt Dreas is the unsung glue to our MF. Credit to our coaches for filling 8 open positions this season and for continuing to find the best combinations of players. We are getting better and finding a lot of depth.

Zips and guards win!

I have also swapped tickets numerous times because I am gone part of the season and my ticket agent has been great. Sometimes they move you around because they might not have seats in your section but they will find you tickets. I took my 3 adult children to the Ohio game last year using the swapped tickets and we had a blast.

What a showing by the Zips.

Roman Emperor! 3-0 on the side-legged goal for Jack! Akron be back in EVERY Top 20!

Toe-poke goal for Agunbiade. VAR check? Looked good to me!

As Jared told Chad, Akron was the far more aggressive and dominant team that first half. Just gotta keep it up the 2nd stanza. Sure would like a goal from run-of-play. We need to finish our opportunities. Have you heard that before?

The review in Akron's defensive goal area was much more of a penalty than what was called on the Billiken keeper, in my opinion. Ref might get Akron's game ball! 😆

Not a fan of Ferguson

Yeah. But it was a sketchy call, this one.

Was nice to finally get a var pk call lol

Borneo PK score. Strange penalty granted after VAR review on keeper interference. Thanks, ref!

Zips look phenomenal, need to score though

Pathetic student section tonight

Both teams playing very physically. Agumbiale took an elbow to the temple in the box. Penalty? No foul call!

Whoa! Chad Welker on the @ESPNU color! Interesting. We're gathered at Pau Hana Bar on O'ahu. #GoZips!!!!!!

Ive noticed Chris Gee is holding up the big blue tarp behind the signal squad

Tonight has some really big matchups that will impact the Zips RPI..... I will list one afternoon score below. I will not be on the computer for the rest of the evening. If some kind soul wants to update the scores later this evening, others on the board and I ...would greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness....of whoever updates the scores tonight. You can find all scores at the NCAA scoreboard shown below. Tuesday September 23rd Bowling Green traveled to Depaul and they got a 2-1 win over The Big East Midwest team.

Akron is not ranked (or receiving votes) in this week's coaches poll. Meanwhile, tonight's opponent (Saint Louis) is ranked #8. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

When I turn on ESPNU, my cable directory for 1 p.m. Hawai'i Standard Time shows "Men's College Soccer from Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio". So the ticket demand was so great the game had to be moved to a larger venue? Doh! #GoAK Rowdies!!

7-4!

No offense to Zips soccer, but I hope anyone interested in the Guardians is at that game instead. My kids and I are going to the Guardians game - gotta let Skubal know he's well loved in Cleveland. We're actually sitting near where Lane Thomas hit the grand slam. Weather should be great, though, and the student turnout needs to be good tonight. Every match is big when you have a championship-caliber team. Right the ship tonight and let's get back on track. Go Zips (and Guardians)!

Massive match tonight. I will have the guards on in one ear bud but hopefully that doesnt affect attendance too much! Weather should clear up
