1st step achieved.

https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/ncaa-mens-soccer-rpi Akron is #13 in the NCAA RPI ranking Through Games Nov. 06 2022 (Gaucho Dan's realtime RPI ranking seems to be tracking well with the NCAA RPI rankings) I agree that the Zips must win the MAC Tournament Championship game next Saturday to maintain an RPI ranking in the top 16 and get a first round bye.

Oh well. 😉 The tweet says WPIAL, but I understand the confusion. PA seems to run their boys state soccer championships a little different than Ohio, and it didn't occur to me that someone might misinterpret my post. Happy for Ryan Kopay to make it this far...hopefully, he and his team keep going. Thanks to @TennZipfor posting the PIAA tournament bracket. When I looked for it on their site before he posted, it was still blank.

https://gozips.com/news/2022/11/5/mens-soccer-no-12-akron-battles-western-michigan-with-mac-title-on-the-line ...KAUZLARIC AND KINGSFORD TO BE HONORED ON SENIOR NIGHT The Zips' contest versus Western Michigan on Sunday, Nov. 6, will mark the final regular season home games in the careers of senior Renato Kauzlaric (Zagreb, Croatia) and Ryan Kingsford. Kauzlaric has appeared in 23 career games at Akron, including 16 starts, owning a goal and two assists on the strength of 20 shots, including four on net A two-year member of the Akron squad, Kingsford, a 2021 First-Team All-MAC performer, has played in 35 career games as a Zip recording 11 goals and nine assists on the heels of registering a pair of game-winning goals on the strength of 49 shots, of which 21 fell on frame.... With this said, is Sammy Tojaga returning for another season (did not play in 2021)? I would love to have Sammy with the Zips for another season.

Final by the way…

Borneo / Bartels has a nice ring to it. Soon to be Zips…

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.
