Nice job Zips. Bullock always seems to do a good job reading defenses. I did find it odd how the referee pulled his arm down after he scored because maybe he was celebrating too much? Weird.
Castleberry dropped that punt before the EMU defender ever touched him. Should not have been a penalty on EMU and Castleberry should not be catching punts anymore.
As we know Bowden got fired last year at ULM. He is currently an assistant coach at Delhi Charter School. ULM this year, however, is 5-1, their only loss is to Texas and have beaten JMU and Troy. Coaches matter.
Maybe those will cause others to underestimate these Zips. π Emil is now tied for 9th place all time in most goals in a season, Pete Milich at 31 is probably out of reach, but Louie Nanchoff at #2 with 22 is within reason.
You know as much as last year was disappointing, it's pretty amazing that the Zips have only lost one conference game in the almost two years they have been in the conference and that team is coming in on Wednesday (or two losses if you count last year's conference tournament).
A few interesting graphics on the broadcast tonight. The first was that they were going to go over the men's MAC Soccer standings at halftime. The second was they were showing the series history between Akron and Ball State, despite the fact that we are not playing Ball State, and they do not have a men's soccer team regardless.
Announcer just commented that on every Emil penalty kick this year, the goalie has guessed the wrong way. The way I see it it appears as though he kind of waits to see where the goalie is committing and then strikes it.
