Sorry for any confusion that was just the WPIAL (Western PA) championship, not state. Moving on to state, I believe.

Congratulations to Zips Mens Soccer recruit Ryan Kopay (Moon Boys Soccer #7) on his championship game-winning goal today.

Richie Laryea 👍🏼

Shout out to Will Jackson who scored a brace tonight and has been doing so well at center back. Thanks Will for accepting whatever role your (our) team needs and asks of you! Go Zips!

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.
