I correct myself. He's a Serbian national. And he looks like the complete package!
-
Is he Serbian, or Bosnian? Big difference you know...historically! So don't go calling him "Serb" if he's from Bosnia-Herzegovina! 😉 Either way...🤩!!!

Will Viking basketball teams be playing in the "open air stadium"?? 🤭

Listen up Zips Fans:
I do NOT want to pull a Jimmy Johnson on this one. However, THIS is the Game, IMHO will decide de the Season.
As a Joe Akron, is this accurate?
As a MAC fan, will this set the pace?
Your thoughts below......
Biggest game in about eight years for Joe Akron. Don't blow it...Joe! 😁

Akron number one in the East Region. 😆 Have we been in the East since joining the Big "East"? I'd prefer being compared to B1G "Midwest" schools. But call me #OldSkool!

5-3 final was perhaps an "ugly win" versus a lesser opponent? Zips were outshot 17-10. 6-2 in Corners. But we scored the last two and held on for the victory.

I do see the line is now 7.5 with O/U 50. Looks like the winner needs to generate some offense. Think its either Wyoming going away or maybe Akron pulls one out late. I doubt the defense will hold a lead.
ESPN shows the line at 7.0 now.

The full women's schedule was released this week (or last, maybe) and is highlighted by visits to South Bend, IN and Ann Arbour, MI to take on Notre Dame (in a meeting of the Bransford sisters from Cincinnati) and Michigan. The home non-conference highlight may be a November 24th meetup with Xavier that could provide the team some confidence as Xavier was drubbed in Big East play and finished in the cellar.

Akron loses 3-0 to West Virginia, a team often ranked top-20 (but not currently) which was ranked #1 and lost to USC in the College Cup Final a few years ago.
Shot attempts 19-0 WVU ... 😬

I'm not buying the "Woe is college soccer" commentary at this point. The game has never been more competitive or probably more exciting. Akron, Marshall, Vermont...National Champions? 🏆
Here's one issue that I didn't know:
"Colleges will also be able to give out more athletic scholarships, but in exchange, schools are required to further limit the number of players on each team who are eligible for tuition aid. College soccer teams can now hand out a maximum of 28 scholarships. It remains to be seen how many of those will actually be filled out - or how much money each individual sport will get."
...So, more players, but fewer scholarships?? It was just 9.5 before. What is it NOW? How does that effect recruiting and retention? Does that cause more players to jump to the portal?

Akron held on to win on the basis of that early score by Fragnoli. 1-0. Not a pretty outcome in the home opener versus a lap dog opponent. We play @West Virginia, a national power this week. Yikes. 😬
-
Luisa Fragnoli scored first for Akron on a long blast in the fifteenth minute to give the Zips the 1-0 advantage over EIU.

Am I correct that the spread on this game has slipped from an opening 10 pts down to 7.5? I live in a Mountain West city ‐‐ Honolulu, and have some sense about the league. The Cowboys are in the bottom half - to bottom third of a league that is clearly top-heavy. I had Akron winning 6 games this season. To get to that summit they MUST win this one first, and if they aren't able to stay close to Wyo then even 5 wins are in doubt. I like the Zips by a TD.

Full 90 complete. Nil nil draw. Akron had slight statistical advantage on the scorekeeper app, though no possession % given.
-
65 minutes played in Ft W. Scoreless match, but Akron now leads 14-8 in shot attempts. Emma King has like 7 shots for the Zips.
-
Halftime in Ft Wayne. Scoreless game with basically equal stats. The Mastadon(na)s were a about .500 team last season, but lost I believe only twice at home. Let's see how the second 45 goes.
-
Zips first non-conference game that COUNTS! Vs Purdue -- Ft Wayne. No more Indy? 🤔
-
Akron starts off the Henderson escapades with a 1:00 p.m. contest vs the Fighting Murray's. BTW, wasn't Jack Jones some sort of cabaret singer? Does anyone remember him in Sin City?
-
I only hold second-hand information, but I understand Nathan Ferguson scored a first-half brace with an assist to Ashton Kamden. Lineup was Budler, Kamden and Pedro at wing backs. Daragh and Kossehasse center backs. Dreas, Borneo, Roman, Morck, Filsinger and Ferguson. I'll await the release of further secrets from our usual correspondents!

2025 Akron Zips Women's Soccer
in Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer

Missed this game on Labor Day. Zips have won 3 of first 5 and are 3-0 at home! No matches until next Friday when they head to Dayton to play a very strong Flyers team that owns a win over #12 Michigan State. Strong competition on the road (West Virginia and Dayton) and very beatable opponents at the Cub Cadet Field. So, it's hard to tell just how good this team will be when MAC competition starts in two weeks. But, there's real hope we'll exceed the coaches prediction (last place) 🤦♀️!
