NYC ZIP

Jen Simonetti is no longer on the goZips website and Maggie Kuhn is listed as interim head coach. It would appear she’s been dismissed.

He certainly emptied the board room quote bucket. He did mention increasing attendance and community engagement which could certainly help in several ways.

Beto with the 96’ minute game winner in the US Open Cup against NYCFC. Go Zips!

GW bio focuses a lot on revenue generating activities: https://gwusports.com/staff-directory/andrew-goodrich/354 From his Miami bio A member of the external leadership staff, his role he is responsible for the management of the marketing department’s promotional, advertising and budgeting strategies for the Hurricanes’ 17 varsity sports. Additional responsibilities include supporting the efforts of UM communications, ticket sales, ticket operations, digital media, creative services and multimedia rights partners to increase and improve brand value, brand awareness, fan experience, customer satisfaction, attendance and revenues. USF At South Florida, Goodrich was responsible for leading the Bulls' business strategy, revenue generation, ticket operations, ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, merchandising, and USF Athletics licensing (CLC) initiatives. Additionally, Goodrich supervised marketing and strategic communications which included digital and social media strategy, Bulls Vision audio/video production, branding, and in-game presentation/fan experience enterprises. SU His success in growing attendance in football and men's and women's basketball, and his expertise in marketing and fan experience will aid us in expanding the impact and reach of the Syracuse brand.

My two cents, quick read is that he has been instrumental in fund raising, marketing and sponsorships at ACC and Big South schools. Finding new, innovative ways to raise money and increase engagement on and off campus, would be very beneficial to Akron athletics.

Going to take a little time to get their footing. 95% of the goals from 2024 have moved on. For example, Stefan’s PK against Creighton is the only Big East conference goal scored by a returning player.

That was amazing.

Yeah if you remove the blow outs against horrible Wright State and St Francis from 2024, there are only 2 goals and 3 assists returning. Zips don’t have Emil to bail them out with individual effort.

Appreciate the update.

I believe the breakdown is: 4 Transfers: Sullivan (St Louis U) Morck (St John’s) Arnesen (Old Dominion) Kossehasse (Iowa Western) 1 recruit : Jamai Royer 2 internationals: Jose Luis Pedro Another intl player whose name I don’t remember

Nothing groundbreaking here, but a 30 min conversation with Coach Embick about a wide range of topics to include the spring league

According to Instagram, Zips picked up a transfer F/M from Old Dominion. Junior from Denmark, had 6 goals and 3 assists in two seasons for the Monarchs. https://www.instagram.com/p/DE0D_S3sGL9/?img_index=4&igsh=ZWhnMGRuZGdwbmxx

It’s not decided by fan vote. Winning the fan vote at this semi finalist stage is equivalent of one first place committee vote. Which is then narrowed to the final three. Those final three are then voted on by the committee to decide the winner. It’s cool you don’t care, just replying to clarify.

6’1 defender from Iowa Western CC commits to Zips. Looks like a junior in eligibility. https://www.instagram.com/p/DDSPtIiPP_X/?igsh=MWRhNXVxengxajNsaA==

Looked like either a broken collarbone or separated shoulder. Had control of a through ball and IU attacker launched into him. At best careless play, but dirty play in my opinion.

The blessing of lack of injuries through the season caught up with the Zips today. They were remarkably fortunate to have very little missed time from injuries. Those starters are beat to hell and just ran out of gas, not to mention losing Budler. Kaminski battled in a tough spot.

Here comes the ref show.
