Not only was it hot, but it was humid. Very uncomfortable just sitting and watching. Had to be really tough for the players. Great win on the road!!! Nice turnout of Zips fans, including Blair Gavin (2009 College Cup Zips), Saad Abdul-Salaam, and Tom O’Rourke (1986 College Cup Zips). DeAndre Yedlin’s grandparents (who raised him and nurtured him through the soccer development process) were also there. As were a number of other Zips fans whom I did not know. GCU sat us behind our bench which provided a very nice, supportive atmosphere for our team! So proud of the progress they have made. Keep it going! Go Zips!!!

@ZipsVoice ... In trying to understand your comment, I listened again to the video you posted on a different computer; In doing so, I realized it's not completely clear that Diogo Pacheco is pronouncing the "o" at the end of his surname, I guess that was your comment, which I didn't understand, and why the stadium announcer may not have pronounced the "o".

At 10 pm EDT

Grand Canyon is undefeated at home (3-0), including wins against Wisconsin and Creighton, and winless on the road (0-3). It's going to be a tough one at their place. Interesting home attendance figures: v Wisconsin: 6648; v Creighton: 3402; v Loyola Marymount: 682

I recall Victor Souto having 3 pk goals in one game. Did he also have an assist to make it 7 points?

@ZipsVoice Thank you for this video which is the best way to hear how the players pronounce their own names. Listening to this video, Diogo Pacheco pronounces his last name the same as the Portuguese (Portugal) in the 2nd link that I posted. (I removed the first because it may have caused confusion being the Portuguese (Brazilian), which may be the reason for your comment.) My post was intended to clear up confusion because the stadium announcer was so far off from any of the pronunciations I provided above. He made me question whether I had been pronouncing it correctly or close to correct. The athletics department should provide a pronunciation key to its announcers. Realize that the fans rely on the announcers since most fans don't hear the pronunciations directly from the players. I certainly needed, and appreciated the help with Ampaipitakwong when I first saw his name. Even with a pronunciation key, it helped to hear it from the announcers; today, it seems straightforward. Anyone can have a bad night; I understand. My post was meant to clarify for anyone who may have been confused, as I was, and not be a condemnation of the announcer.

Congratulations to Zips Football and all of the Akron fans in attendance at Northwestern. Great day for the Zips!!!

GCU (3-2-0 as of this writing) has some nice wins v Wisconsin and Creighton and are undefeated at home. https://gculopes.com/schedule.aspx?schedule=345

For others who may have been confused by our in-stadium announcer last night... http://www.pronouncekiwi.com/Pacheco (pronunciation in many languages, including Portugal [Portuguese]), none of which did I detect a silent "o"

To those who were asking, I apologize for my faulty memory. Looking at the Zips Media Guide (page 62), most goals scored were... 1. 14 vs. Youngstown State W, 14-1 1974 2. 12 vs. Cleveland State W, 12-2 2005 at Youngstown State W, 12-0 1981 vs. Western Reserve W, 12-2 1958 5. 10 vs Canisius W 10-0 2018 (9/15/18, new, to be added) vs. Wright State W, 10-1 1983 vs. Cincinnati W, 10-0 1975 vs. Case Tech W, 10-0 1961 vs. Case Tech W, 10-2 1957

Darlington Nagbe is back from injury.

Captain Trapp!

It is unfortunate that UConn had to cancel due to weather/travel considerations just like UA potentially losing a big pay out due to cancelation of the football game with Nebraska due to storms. However, at least a good opponent was found as a replacement, and I’m happy that our 2018 Zips get to play tonight at home and continue their progression. No one, especially our players, are satisfied with how this season is going thus far. I trust that our players will find their edge and the needed Zips Men’s Soccer mentality. These players are talented and smart. They just need to mentally put together a complete game and help each other out. I’m sure they all realize that no matter how good any of them are individually, they are only as good as the team.

U-19 MNT CAPTURES 2018 U-20 MEN'S INVITATIONAL TITLE WITH 4-1 WIN VS. JAMAICA

Congrats to Carlo and the US U19 MNT on winning this U20 Invitational Tourney.

Good comments Z.I.P. I really can't add anything. The Zips seemed to lack speed and focus. Two early goals in this one; UW had several additional opportunities but mostly seemed content to defend in the 2nd half.
