St. Louis CITY SC Acquire Goalkeeper Ben Lundt from Phoenix Rising FC

This one really belongs here, too (my bad), since Zarek is joining Wil Trapp in Minnesota for the 2023 season...

Pulled this over from @TennZip's post in the 2022 thread... https://www.themaneland.com/2022/11/30/23486692/defender-joao-moutinho-bids-orlando-city-farewell-in-social-media-post

Article from Dec 2, 2022... João Moutinho departs Orlando City, signs in Italy's Serie A

Congratulation to Joao Moutinho (subs in at 66:56 in the game [~9:31 in the video]) on his debut today for Spezia (Italian Serie A)

@Z.I.P. As I recall, Zack Steffen is a Terrapin, not a Zip, in the Pros. LOL Btw, it's 2023. LOL

Congratulations to ZipsMSoc alum Zarek Valentin who is joining Wil Trapp in Minnesota.

It is a showcase with the possibility of going pro. As @TennZip pointed out, Dyson could possibly return to Akron in 2023. My "best wishes" were intended as best wishes in the showcase. As much I'd love for Dyson to return, if he gets the right opportunity to go pro and takes it, then I'll be thrilled for him.

Congratulations and best wishes to Dyson Clapier…

Congratulations to Adam Najem, who is currently playing professionally in Indonesia, on earning his degree.

I don't want to belabor the unfortunate result, but I know we're all proud of our former Zip representing the 🇺🇸 well in the 2022 World Cup and had to post a picture. Best wishes to DeAndre for whatever his future holds on and off the field. https://chicago.suntimes.com/soccer/2022/12/3/23491378/united-states-eliminated-from-world-cup-after-3-1-loss-to-netherlands
