I agree with everything you said. I hope Steve Zakuani is able to make a comeback, and that DeAndre and Steve will one day play together for the Sounders.

Teal Bunbury has 2 goals for SKC in the first 14 minutes vs Colorado. Edit:

Bucks Too Much For Jersey Shore The second half started in a much more subdued fashion for both teams, with Jersey Shore playing down a man and the Bucks in complete control. Bucks head coach Gary Parsons made a couple of second half substitutions early bringing in Thomas Schmitt and Ethan Miller to lead the offense and both would figure in the second half scoring. Schmitt, the University of Akron leading scorer this spring, would set up Catalano for the games fourth goal in the 74th minute.

Great news for Perry Kitchen who had to be subbed out of the DC United v Dynamo game in the first half in Houston this past weekend. In unexpected but totally welcomed news, D.C. United announced on Twitter today that the results of the MRI on Perry Kitchen's knee came back negative. All of his CL's are just fine, and there is no major damage. He'll be listed as Questionable on the team's injury report.

The full roster isn't there yet, but a couple of Zips (Barson, Caldwell) showing up on Michigan Bucks 2012 roster. Edit (May 15): Thomas Schmitt also on roster now.

You had me going, but that can't be correct... The 2011 media guide shows the Zips as 0-0-1 vs UC-Berkley (Goals 3-3) with 1st meeting in 2010. That's the Elite 8 game in the 2010 NCAA Tourney.

When was the last year Can't had a mens soccer team? From the 2011 Akron Mens Soccer Media Guide: Akron 15-0-0 Goal differential: 62-9

I disagree. IU may be on the rise, but so are the Zips. I think we take them on the neutral field, even though it's in their state. GO ZIPS! I'm more amazed at the record vs SIUE, When is the last time we played them? We face them in the Creighton Tournament in the Fall. This is the year to erase that "0".

I wonder when the last time was we played SIUE.

The last time we played Maryland that counted was Ken Lolla's last year as Head Coach (2005). 1-1 draw in the NCAA Tournament (Elite 8, I believe). Maryland advanced on PK's. Either this didn't count as a tie in those days as it would now, or the records in the media guide are regular season only because our record against Maryland is listed as 1-1-0 (W-L-T).

I would guess that Maryland, UNC, and UVA would be among them. Duke? WF? I will have to do some digging.

I admit I didn't recognize Jurgen Klinsmann by that pseudonym, but I had read that he played for the Blue Star.

That many days?! Thank goodness for PDL and former Zips in MLS.

I believe WakeMed Soccer Park (Cary, NC) only holds 7,000 Park Features * Lighted stadium field, two lighted practice fields & five additional fields * Permanent stadium seating for 7,000 with expansion capability * Concessions, locker rooms, rest rooms and meeting space * Outstanding cross country course with 5K, 6K and 8K marked courses (adaptable to other distances) * 2,600 parking spaces Perhaps it was 10,000 with standing room

http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer...ril-30_aid24235 I kind of like the way this reads: Cristian Cruz, Midfielder/Forward, San Jose Earthquakes Academy Top 150: 55 Class: 2013 Potential Schools: St. Mary's, Santa Clara, Akron, Wake Forest, New Mexico, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, Cal Poly, Cal State Chico Cristian Cruz is torn about his college commitment. As a member of the U18 Men’s National Team, he has his pick of institutions, but that has not made the decision any simpler. “Overall the recruiting process has been very difficult for me,” Cruz told TopDrawerSoccer.com over email. “I still have no idea what college I want to attend. This is going to be one of the hardest decisions I've made.” There is one factor that has remained on the front of Cruz’s mind: location. “I want to stay in California,” Cruz said. “I've been in love with this state since the day I was born. I don't really want to go out of state.” That said, the appeal of a certain Ohio school did make it just enough to crack the center midfielder’s top three list. “My top 3 schools are UCSB, Santa Clara, and Akron,” Cruz said.

In 2003, it was in Columbus Crew Stadium. I guess they decided after 10 years to go for an MLS stadium in the north again.

There is a Crew Juniors U20 team which is referenced here (Crew 20): http://www.thecrewyouth.com/CrewJuniorsGold/index_E.html. I vaguely remembered Chad Barson and Ben Speas played for a Crew U20 Development Team that won a USL Super-20 Championship last summer, and after some searching, here's that link: http://www.thecrew.com/news/2011/07/crew-j...-national-title

I couldn't find the detail in that article. The U18 team doesn't seem correct. Perhaps they are referring to a PDL side affiliated with the Crew.

http://www.thecrew.com/news/2012/04/academ...light-wil-trapp ...When the semester ends at Akron, Trapp will play with the Crew Soccer Academy for the summer. Both Bliss and Trapp acknowledge there are things the midfielder needs to work on during the summer and next season at Akron before he makes the transition to the next level. ...
