Here's how the Big East Conference is doing through the first 5 games for most (https://www.bigeast.com/standings.aspx?path=msoc) ...

Pretend? It has been, is now, and will forever be a ZERO! 😃 (Love this by the way! Well-played!)

Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. I hope a large Zips fans’ contingent attends, especially AK Rowdies. Unfortunately, though, in answer to your question/need, I don’t have any recommendations for am online site to watch the game.

This is my most prized piece of Zips memorabilia. Thanks 2010 Zips Men’s Soccer and special thanks to Coach Caleb Porter for making it possible for fans to purchase these.

A better look at Wil’s assist leading to the tying goal late in the match …

Wil Trapp with the longggg assist …. 👏👏👏

DeAndre Yedlin (you know, the Zips RB who played in the English Premier League and for the USMNT, including a few World Cup Appearances as well as Turkey and MLS) bobblehead ...

Good game; good draw. I'd like to see Jack Sullivan get more minutes. I'd also like to see them try the combination of Nathan Ferguson and Remi Agunbiade on the field together. I don't recall seeing that forward combo yet this season. Remi was a beast last night.

https://www.summitcountyshof.org/1974 Stu Parry Coach 1974 The man generally regarded as bringing the sport of soccer to Akron U, Parry went on to compile a record of 118 victories and only 43 losses and 4 ties. His teams defeated some of the best in the country, winning nine Ohio College Soccer Association titles and four times entered the NCAA Playoffs. He learned the sport at Western Reserve Academy where he captained the soccer team. Later he gained further honors by being named President of the National Soccer Coaches Association. When he came to Akron U there were only six recognized college teams playing soccer in Ohio. Twice he was chosen Ohio Coach of the Year, in 1966 and '68 and eight of his players made All-America a total of 13 times!

I will miss seeing Stu at home and away games. I always enjoyed talking with him about Zips Men's Soccer and hearing his thoughts on the team. Thanks to Stu for starting the team that we all love and for his and his family's continued support. Rest in Peace. 🙏 Condolences to Stu's family.

Very sorry to learn of Stu Parry's passing. Tribute to Stu Parry It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of Stu Parry — a man who meant so much to all of us. Stu wasn't just a great coach; he was a deeply kind and generous soul, a loving father and grandfather, and a true role model whose impact reached far beyond the soccer field. His unwavering dedication helped bring varsity soccer to the University of Akron, and his vision laid the foundation for one of the most storied programs in college soccer. The legacy he built continues to grow through the efforts of former players and coaches who carry his spirit forward. Even at 92, Stu remained a vibrant part of our community. He was always eager to meet for breakfast, send an email, or make a call - just to talk Akron soccer. He loved hearing about the incredible young men in our program and was genuinely excited about what each new season could bring. Through the highs and lows, Stu was a constant source of encouragement and support. His love for the game and for this program never wavered. He was a Zip in every sense of the word. To honor Stu's memory, our team will wear a patch on our home jerseys that simply says "Stu." It's a small gesture to recognize a man whose influence was anything but small. We now carry the torch - for Stu and for Akron Soccer - and we will continue to share our passion and pride for one of the premier college soccer programs in the country. . Sincerely, Jared Embick Head Men's Soccer Coach University of Akron

Jack Sullivan was also among the starters. The Zips may have not been as good due to the dirty, physical play by Detroit Mercy. Unfortunately, a number of our players were injured as a result. The ref needed to have a better handle on it. I'm not a fan of cards in exhibition games, but some red cards were warranted but not given. Yellows were insufficient.

I'm hopeful we can use this thread to track rankings and RPI as they change throughout the season rather than jumping around the forum to find them.

Tremendous day (Aug 9, 2025) for Malik!!!
