Z.I.P.

Well...I agree in general...However, I'm pretty sure you do not have much experience at SoCal driving, so my experience: When the Zips played (2 games) @CSUN in 2011, I had three other games to see the same Labor Day weekend. I was staying in Northridge/Reseda, and had to get to Irvine for a Hawaii women's game on Friday evening. The drive of about 30-40 miles took me over 4 HOURS! I had to drive back late that night and arrived back after 11:30 from a 7PM game. So, while it seems easy to combine games, in the LA metroplex it is always a drudgery! Of course, if one is JUST interested in say two Akron games, you can hopefully arrange to stay closer to the actual venues. But as much as I enjoy SOME parts of my vacations in the LA area, I ALWAYS hate driving anywhere! I bet Richmond doesn't have the same traffic as the San Diego Freeway!

In the past, under the two previous coaching administrations, I was able to find out future skeds. I actually had it on background that the team was supposed to return (for first time in a decade) to Portland, but it ended up only one team member went and left everyone else behind -- lol! But if not for the success of the Porter era, the Bruins would not be visiting the Rubber City. This is just the second time I can recall a UCLA team visiting a MAC school -- their women's volleyball played at Can't ten+ yrs ago. Of course I'd love to see Embick's team play anywhere on the West Coast, but there have to be multiple games at the same venue, not a plane flight apart (and UCLA does not host any tournaments). Univ of Portland has an annual tournament, which we've played in at least twice which usually includes Washington Huskies. I imagine we would be treated well -- as long as we get there while Caleb is still coaching there!

And, the coaches agree!!! http://www.socceramerica.com/article/65654/potw-laryea-and-buehler-honored-with-weekly-award.html

When does NSCAA come out?

Next!

Akron third down "efficiency", 1 of 7.

Shades of Old Dominion? Beat us over the top? I didn't see either, thanks to the (non) video.

We seemed to dominate from about the 20 minute mark.

"Improved". And "growing". Officially approved terms for early 2015!

Sammy Liverpool!! 3-2 Zips!

Najem shot off the far post. So close! 20 to play.

Najem tied it up @ 52 mins. Yeah Zips!

2-1! Gainford goal? Chip from high in 16 box. All I saw was the goal. lol. Well, could be worse!

Feed came on in c. 38th min. Lasted 30 seconds. Saw Zips throw in and couple shots, then died again.

Well, there is no video feed! Where's that new AD?!? Arrrrgghh!!

Hope not. Twitter saying scboard is wrong!

Friday night 7PM EST. I cannot make this game, unfortunately, but my and CK's friend Eugene, Oregon intends to be on hand! Not sure where he will get a tik, but he's on his way to watch the Rainbow Warriors pull the upset over the Suckeyes on Saturday! Ha ha. Per SLU the UA is live streaming for F-R-E-E. http://www.slubillikens.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=27200&ATCLID=210329808 Hope that is true! Go Zips!!!!

Haven't seen anything regarding the women's recruiting front, so passing this on. Coach Herlihy already has three verbal commitments from class of 2017 players, including 3-star Ohio Premier defender Lauren Lambert. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/lauren-lambert/pid-51592

Graham Zusi loses bet to Saad! https://twitter.com/AndyVeri848 #GoZips

Hopefully they wait to vote after the holiday!

We have a head coach too!

Thanks for the updates, guys. My audio feed died with 20 minutes to play! Great weekend!

We could move into top 10 in coaches' poll this week!

Akron 0 shots 2nd half, per UMD stats. 8-5 total for Terps.

Yes, 2-1. My audio's in and out. On Rabble, that is.
