Beto Ydrach with the winning PK. Riverhounds prevail and advance to the Conference final 4-3 in the shootout. Great to be there to see it and congratulate our Zips Mens Soccer alum.

Great to see so many Zips fans there cheering on our team in a tough place for visitors and celebrating the victory with them. Very cool. 💙💛

From BigSoccer.com (post by "RusskyHoya")... 😁 https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/big-east-2025.2136176/page-4 Akron 1 @ Creighton 0: We can consider this to be the true baptism - or, in keeping with the conference's Catholic tint, the final ordination - of the Zips as a member of the Big East. An edgy, chippy, tense affair decided by a goal 'in the paint' put away following a deflection off of a defender. A gritty win on the road, capped off by some Grade A taunting of the home team and crowd after knocking the Bluejays from their Division Champ perch coming in and ending their season. Now that's Big East attitude!!!

One game at a time, of course...focus on UConn. However, it seems that Providence with an RPI currently at 72 will be fighting hard for the Conference automatic qualifier...their only ticket to the 2025 NCAA Tourney.

I have to reiterate this. I have every confidence this team can find their way to prevail. So happy to see them well supported on the road. Kudos to Mitch Budler's family and friends and all other Zips fans who were able to travel and celebrate with our team as they win the Big East Midwest Division in a very challenging locale. Enjoy Zips and Zips fans in attendance!!!

If I understand the BE Tournament seeding, the semifinal matchups will be... #1 Georgetown v #4 Providence #2 Akron v #3 UConn

Congratulations Zips!!! What a WIN!!! Nice timing of your first Zips goal Thomas O’Rourke!!!

Awesome crowd of Zips fans celebrating with our team in Omaha!!!

ZIPS WIN!!!
