Another new Zip who knows how to win trophies!!! ?????

Thanks @TennZip. Love watching our team celebrate with their fellow UAkron students. #AkronMade #AkronPride Go Zips!!!

Yes. From the GoZips.com article... The Golden Eagles advanced to the third round of the NCAA Division II Tournament a year ago on the strength of an 18-1-2 overall record.

I've met all of our 2019 Men's Soccer Zips who have made their way to Akron thus far. I hope to meet Bradley Chick this Friday. Go Zips!!!

Semifinal https://www.socceroos.com.au/news/australia-book-aff-u-18-championship-final-ticket-late-turnaround ...Australian goalkeeper Noah Paul James made a fine save from Aung Ko Oo's effort early on, while Bradley Chick made Myanmar gloveman Pyae Phyo Thu stretch in response. Gary van Egmond’s team had work to do when La Min Htwe slid the Asian Lions into an 18th-minute lead following a lightning-quick counter attack at Binh Duong Stadium in Vietnam. ... Final https://dailyfootballshow.com/young-socceroos-avenge-earlier-defeat-to-win-aff-u18-championship/ ...Sliding the ball in behind the Malaysian defence as Australia launched a rare second-half foray forward, second-half substitute Bradley Chick perfectly picked out the run of Brook and sprung the Adelaide United prospect in on goal. One-on-one with Sikh Azman, Brook looked odds on to score but could only find the side netting with his effort. Nonetheless, in a cruel twist of fate for the Malaysians, Sikh Azman – who had required treatment numerous times throughout the contest – suffered an injury as he got down to cover the net and was carried off on a stretcher. Ice cold and called into action, backup Mohd Fadhil had little chance just minutes later when Brook, gifted a second chance after being played through by Louis D’Arrigo, hammered an effort inside the near post to give Australia the lead. ...

I apologize for my comment to your post @ZipsVoice I meant that I didn’t put the disaster point up (Jozie’s Goal) because the majority of things I seem to read on social media these days are negative. I didn’t intend it as it reads...my bad. So sorry about that.

Congratulations to 2019 Zips recruit Bradley Chick and the U18 Socceroos...

Captain Wil Trapp to Pedro Santos...Goal!!!

Highlights of the U18 Socceroos win v Myanmar today:

Unfortunately, his arrival at Akron is delayed, but I love that he's getting big game experience.

With a 2-1 win over Myanmar, the young Socceroos are into the final vs Malaysia. I believe Bradley Chick played the full 90'.

2019 Recruit Bradley Chick starting for the young Socceroos in the AFF U18 Championship2019 semifinal today.

Thanks @TennZip for all of the research

Joey Paulus highlights... http://www.hudl.com/v/2873Cj

A native of Melbourne, Australia, Chick, a defender, is a member of the Australian U-18 National Team that will compete at the AAF U-18 Championships this month in Vietnam, before reporting to the Zips. He has garnered valuable playing experience with Melbourne City FC, Melbourne Victory and his state's U-15 team. The U-18 Socceroos (love that name) are 4-1 coming out of the group stage and could play through August 19th if they play for the Championship. The one loss --- Malaysia inflicted a 3-0 defeat on Australia in their penultimate group match to rise to the top of Group B in the AFF U18 Championship 2019 on Tuesday.

...The squad welcomed 15 newcomers to the fold as the Zips went through a 90-minute training session on the Shrank Practice Field. Akron is set to return seven starters in 2019, including 2018 All-Mid-American Conference performers, senior Skye Harter (Copley, Ohio), junior David Egbo (Enugu, Nigeria) and sophomores Carlo Ritaccio (Westbury, N.Y.) and Sam Tojaga (Erie, Pa.) from a squad that captured the MAC Tournament title en route to advancing to title match of the College Cup for the fourth time in program history on the strength of an overall record of 15-7-2. ... ...Four of the Zips' 2019 opponents are rated in the preseason top-25 led by No. 1 Maryland (Sept. 13), No. 5 Stanford (Sept. 2), No. 7 Michigan State (Oct. 15) and No. 23 West Virginia (Nov. 7). Akron will welcome Stanford and Michigan State to FirstEnergy Stadium on Sept. 2 and Oct. 15, respectively, while encountering road tilts at No. 1 Maryland (Sept. 13) and No. 23 West Virginia (Nov. 7). Additionally, the Zips will play at Creighton, who is receiving votes in the preseason poll, on Sept. 6, while hosting No. 24 Michigan in an exhibition tilt on Aug. 23....

You're welcome and thank you. It is pure pleasure for me to support this team. I wish I could do more for the program. I love getting to know all our players and wish the best for them in soccer, the classroom, and wherever life takes them. By the way, we know Michael Nanchoff is back as an assistant. I think Zips fans will be pleased when they see another former Zip helping out this Fall.
