Welcome … ... Donning the Akron uniform this fall will be Ignacio Alem (Potomac, Md.), Abdi Bahur(Toronto, Ontario), Gavin Crane (Hinckley, Ohio), Braxton Hayes (Bowie, Md.), Logan LaMaina (Sellersville, Pa.), Farrel Ngongang(Montreal, Quebec), Matthew Paiva(Toronto, Ontario), Malte Schmaus(Hammersbach, Germany) and Dylan Wilkinson (Bradford, England). The nine players are part of Akron's 2025 signing class joining six members in Aljaz Dodig (Ljubljana, Slovenia), Freddy Kossehasse (McKinney, Texas), Tyler Morck (Bethpage, N.Y.), Jose Pedro (Porto, Portugal), Jamai Royer (Markham, Ontario) and Jack Sullivan (Potomac, Md.), that signed with the Zips prior to the spring semester. ...

Hope you enjoyed. That is an excellent stadium with a beautiful view. I need to get over there and see a game with Beto.

Marco Micaletto with a fantastic assist…

Yeah. Zips FB is so successful, let's go back to Ianello's ways of doing things with little to no fan engagement. 😩

Riverhounds (Beto Ydrach) on ESPN2 tonight.

September 13th in Burlington, VT ... should be a nice road trip.

I'm sad to read that Josh no longer wanted to be part of our program. I've suspected since the Spring that he had made a decision to go elsewhere. I wish him the best but cannot say the same for his new collegiate team. Hopefully, our new AD finds a way to make needed improvements for our student-athletes, but as noted, the lure of bigger money elsewhere will likely continue to hamper our program. I haven't seen where Max Barboto will be this Fall. He is among the players in the voting for NPSL Golden Ball (most outstanding player in the NPSL season). He didn't play as many minutes for the Zips as I thought he would have, but is another player whom I looked forward to seeing potentially gain more minutes this year. Max has always been respectful, often initiating conversations with me. I wish Max well. Also, agreed that Simon Guardiero is talented, and I looked forward to his continued improvement and perhaps getting more minutes, maybe becoming a starter for the Zips this Fall. Talented player and gracious person. I reached out to him on IG to wish him well; he responded thanking me for my support and wishing me and the Zips the best.

ZipsMSoc alum Wan Kuzri with the goal…

It appears from all information here that our schedule is set. Looking forward to the official release of the full schedule by UA.

Another for Stefan. 😊

Another Caleb Borneo goal

That would be AWESOME! Roadtrip. 😊
