Gaucho Dan RPI rank through games of October 29th. 11 Akron 200 Chicago State 44 WMU

It’s soccer.

https://gozips.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/perry-kitchen/2042 as a Freshman (2010): Soccer America Freshman First Team ... also College Soccer News and Top Drawer Soccer Freshman All-American ... called into the January U.S. national team camp ... All-MAC First Team ... appeared in all 25 games as the Zips' starting defensive midfielder ... finished with six goals, including a game-winner against Cal State Northridge (Sept. 17) ... also added one assist ... scored long-range goals against Cal in the NCAA quarterfinal (Dec. 4) and against Michigan in the NCAA semifinal (Dec. 10). Pretty good for a defensive midfielder!

How about any of these Elite 8 goals.... Colin Biros 2018 at Stanford? Niko de Vera 2017 PK v Loserville. (sorry Will Meyer)? Adam Najem 2015 golden goal v Creighton as you mentioned? Kofi Sarkodie 2010 PK v Cal in the snow the previous weekend? or National Championship Scotty Caldwell 2010 v Loserville? Lots of great memories and more to come ... THANKS ZIPS!!!

??? Kofi Sarkodie scored the only other Zips' goal (game winner) in that game v Michigan.

We'll never forget Perry's game-tying goal vs Michigan in the 2010 College Cup semifinal on the way to the National Championship...1st up in the highlights below.

The back and forth between Dyson Clapier and Jason Shookalook, with defenders on them, that led to Dyson's goal was some great work, too.

CSU had 1 shot on goal that I believe Mitch tried to catch but ended up on the top of the net for a CSU ck. No matter...clean sheet.

Shorts! for the last time in 2022?

I think the best chance for the Zips came at 10:39 when Johnny Fitzgerald put the ball on frame heading inside the left post and it was saved by a header by #3 Akpunonu. Frustrating the number of chances the Zips had but were unable to finish. I always find it interesting when an attacking player shoots wide or over the net how fans tend to say great shot, it's ok. But, if a defender makes a mistake, they tend to not receive the same easy treatment. Oh well. On to the Cleveland State game in 8 days; then back to the MAC.

Only time will tell. The Georgias joined because the Sun Belt stopped sponsoring Men's Soccer. Then conference realignment brought a number of teams such as Marshall and an associate, WVU, into the Sun Belt and the conference had the needed teams to again sponsor Men's Soccer. I wish the MAC would stop sponsoring Men's Soccer so the Zips could pursue an associate membership in a better, more stable (for Men's Soccer) conference.
