Why not seed the entire field then?

What does this accomplish?

Lundt saved the first PK attempt and STL goes on to win the first trophy in club history.

Extra time. Very few threats on the STL since Lundt entered.

Lundt going in at goalie for STL in the Open Cup Final vs the Crew (who has Evan Bush) due to injury.

I would roll with the 16 man roster. Mahaffey was named to the preseason All-MAC team so he and Oriol will be playing unless something changes. Huge losing streak by the NCAA in court recently, too.

Wherever Georgetown is seeded in the NCAA Tourney, I hope Akron is on the other side of the bracket.

I'd imagine Sendy had at least Mahaffey as 1st team, and I'm not saying there is any legitimacy with the preseason rankings when it comes to reality. However, shouldn't someone have voted the Zips to be champs to at least not leave the complete list of bulletin board material for the most successful program since COVID to use as motivation? Even if there isn't a belief that Akron is going to be the class of the MAC, the reverse psychology would've been a decent play instead of this.

No regular season 1st place votes or tournament champion votes. No 1st Team All MAC predictions. I understand we have a new coach and a decent amount of roster turnover, but my goodness - please continue to doubt the only ever 3-straight MAC champs. Bulletin board material.

To be fair, when the pairings were made, I don't believe the Zips had Mahaffey or Oriol on the roster.

This video was played on repeat in our house in 2006 after Dennis Kennedy and Akron upset the Wolfpack. Years later, we were stoked when The Chest was hired at Akron under Bowden. RIP Mr. Amato.

What a complete mismanagement by Minnesota. Hope they lose 82 games this season.

There are 16 players in the photo FTR shared.

Add Oriol and Mahaffey. I think everything else is still accurate. Highlight them with a weird color though because their eligibility might change if the wind blows differently tomorrow.

Landed at the feet of 3 Friars and they didn't clear it in time lol. Pinball goal.
