I know that being loud is not one of your shortcomings 😂 but please make sure our team knows you’re there supporting them. They love, and very much deserve, the support. I wish I could be there, too. GO ZIPS!!! 🤩

Fly the flag. 🏴‍☠️

Akron is #9 in today’s United Soccer Coaches Poll. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

Did others happen to notice 2023 recruits Caleb Borneo and Jackson Herbert in attendance last night? Great to see our future Zips supporting their future teammates, especially during a win v B1G.

Great header off a corner kick, too. Didn’t need to jump…cheeky.

Speaking of Goalkeepers, FIU switched Keepers for the 2nd half but still couldn't thwart the Zips attack. Not sure what the FIU GK was doing so far up the pitch late in the game when Stefan kicked the ball past him, then blew by him and out ran the defenders to put the ball in the open goal for our 5th tally. Love watching the FIU fans who can be seen in the camera putting their hands on their heads in shock and awe. 😃

per Will Meyer on IG, Will Portman should perhaps get a new phone and Snapchat. 😂

Gyuwon Chong played 68 minutes and Mitch Budler did a great job in goal last night.

I agree with Jared…our Zips response to every FIU goal was huge. Yeah, I’d prefer not giving up 3 goals. But scoring after each and every one was huge. Way to keep our heads in the game and not let adversity get to us. GO ZIPS!!!

5-3 Zips FT. Great win! FIU didn’t lose a single regular season home game last season. GO ZIPS!!!

Stefan. Open goal GOAL!!!

Goal FIU. 4-3. 4:38 remaining.

Shooky with goal #4. Zips 4-2. 5 minutes remaining
