Akron won the Sun Bowl Invitational in 2016. But I think it might have only been 4 teams.

If you search "Akron Zips" on eBay and sort by newest items, you can sometimes find some good stuff that I assume is from former athletes and staff members. Other than that, the Bookstore website is decent but expensive.

We have the first result of the tournament and it's from the Zips section of the bracket...Duke beats FDU 1-0 to advance to a matchup with Princeton.

The final (I assume?) Top Drawer poll of the season is out and Akron is not in it. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men I do not see a College Soccer News poll for this week.

I do think Akron will get a top 16 seed but it's gonna be close. And sometimes when it's close, they give it to a ACC or Big Ten team. So we'll see!

I think they likely will be, based on the fact that they're still #9 in RPI after the loss. The committee seems to stick pretty close with the RPI rankings.

I thought the exact same thing the second I saw that. I had to look twice to make sure I read it properly!

It's looking like a Zips win on Thursday may wrap up a top 16 seed. And as TennZip said, a tournament win will almost assuredly guarantee a top 8 seed. Keep it going, Zips!

Youngstown State also played Shenango last night. How many D1 teams are these guys playing? 😆

Akron up to #14 in the College Soccer News poll while remaining at #24 in the Top Drawer poll. https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-week-12-top-25-coaches-poll-maryland-claims-top-spot-nc-state-and-stanford-drop/ https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men

I won't be able to attend due to a work trip. So, if anyone would like a free general admission ticket, DM me and I'll get it to you.

Zips up to #9 in the RPI.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

Heck of a time for it!

That part is true!

We have a nice stadium compared to many schools but this Creighton stadium is next level. My goodness.

Zips at -11.5 on Draft Kings.

That's correct, I believe. I had initially thought it would be better for UConn to beat Seton Hall but then TennZip's post helped me realize it would be better for Seton Hall to win. A win and obviously the Zips are #2 seed. A draw and we'd make it with a Providence loss and a NON-draw between Seton Hall and UConn. A loss and there's still a chance to make it if Seton Hall and Georgetown both win...I think.

Awesome, thanks so much! One less game i need to pay attention to tonight. 😂

I saw on Facebook that they're offering BOGO tickets. Looks like it's in the reserved sections. About $21 for two tickets.

Does this imply that St John's can't qualify on a tiebreaker?

You know, I'd feel a lot better if this game was at home 😂 but I'm confident in the team to get it done!

I'm pretty sure they won't, unfortunately.

Looks like they're in mid-season form already. 😂

Akron up to #18 in the College Soccer News poll and are finally ranked again in the Top Drawer poll at #24. https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-week-11-top-25-coaches-poll-stanford-drops-while-vermont-maryland-and-virginia-stand-out-as-clear-top-3/ https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men
