The last time the Budler's attended a game this season in Akron, they mentioned organizing a tailgate at Creighton for Akron fans. Also hoped to get Akron fans seated together to make their presence louder.
GO ZIPS!!!
Congratulations to Zips commit Kam Warnke and the Aurora Greenmen who advance to the Division III state title game by defeating CVCA 1-0 on a golden goal in OT this evening.
Congratulations to Zips Commit Calan DeWalt and Dublin Jerome who advance to the Division I state title game by defeating Cincinnati St Xavier 5-0 this evening.
Winner takes the Big East Midwest Division. Creighton, however, can also claim the division with a draw. I don't want to think about scenarios that result in a BE Tourney appearance short of a WIN. I have confidence that our Zips can rise to this challenge and prevail.
Go Zips!!!
