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.

The guy from Medina (who played college ball at WF) and the ZipsMSoc alum who sneaks the ball in a few minutes later and just before half

In the past, we used to have issues at BUGS because they "park the bus" which they did again packing their penalty area with defenders again last night. However, we now seem to let them dictate the style of play. Frustrating to watch us at times continue to keep the ball in the air when we had time to settle it to the ground and play our style. Harder than it looks, especially on the road, but I had hoped that we would settle in more and dictate our style of play. 3 MAC matches on the road sucks, but on to Chicago State. One at a time, please Zips. No looking ahead.

It’s tough having to watch the closest MLS team vie for one of the final 2022 MLS Cup playoff spots, but I can’t be upset when another of our ZipsMSoc alum and his team qualify. Congratulations to DeAndre Yedlin and Inter Miami on clinching a playoff spot last night.

Notorious, that is.

Chad Barson cleared the ball off the line via his shin, but the ESPN announcer mistakenly said looked like Valentin. As I recall, the barrage occurred for what seemed like an eternity of about 1 minute from 88:29 to 89:28.
