Zips have had 3-4 serviceable OLs in any of the past few seasons. They should be 2-deep with options this year. We should have a legit team and a manageable schedule this season. Gotta at least go 6-6. I’m feeling 7-5, which is insanity. I’ll make my stone cold lock prediction after I see an August scrimmage or two.
Just watched the replay on ESPN+. Had no idea what the result was (and didn't want to). Thought they were done when they went down 9-4 but then they went on a five goal run. Thought they were done again after RMU sored on a rebound with I think 1:15 remaining, but they grabbed a goal with 12 seconds left, and then held on as a final RMU shot bounced off the top crossbar. Zips dominated overtime, RMU never got a shot off. Incredible season and victory.
I forgot this game was streamed and only caught the fourth period. That was fantastic! These ladies are for real and they are playing their best when it counts most. This program has coach Elaine Jones fingerprints all over it. She develops the talent she is given and recruits at a high level. The program couldn't be in better position and it is due to her leadership. I hope she stays to build a legacy of champions. Congratulations Zip LAX!
