I would be remiss if I also did not talk about Beto Ydrach.
He is an absolute warrior.
Georgetown really concentrated their attack ....using their left winger to attack the zips right back.....
Beto was constantly in the right place.....and he battled all game against Georgetown's big, talented front line.
Roberto Ydratch = Warrior
Too bad only one year we have him.

Just now, Z.I.P. said:
We now have a road draw vs pre-season #2 Notre Dame, and a road victory vs Georgetown which was pre-season top-5. Question: What's the all-time record between the Zips and Hoyas? That's our first win vs them in Big East competition, correct?
Well, yes. It is also the first time Zips have played Georgetown as a member of the Big East.

I like Anna Simmons’ offensive creativity. She just has difficulty staying match fit, always with some nagging injury. If/when Anna puts it all together, the Zips will have the playmaking to be dangerous in the front third.

Great team win!!
Several really gritty performances tonight.
How many miles did Malick Henry log?
This is the sort of victory that can turn around the trajectory of a season.
Emil Jaaskelainen is a man - full grown!!
He was heroic tonight!
Emil Jaaskelainen is the best pure #9 Zips have had since Teal Bunbury 15 years ago.
His hold up play with his back to the goal is textbook.
"Step aside, let the man go through..."

Sara Bower doing a nice job in goal - Zips have two solid goalkeepers in Bower and Penelope Cuirinier. Also of note they Zips have only one senior on the pitch at this moment. Future looks good.
Future is bright.

Does Akron MSOC right now have the minimum resources required for elite performance?
if that answer is “Yes,” then it is on Embick to right the ship. This task will not be achieved by publicly blaming anyone but himself, however accurate his claim might be.
If that answer is “No,” then I fundamentally do not understand what we are actually doing. Participating?

Please forgive the repetitive and frank questioning. We The Faithful are mightily frustrated at the moment. It would be impossible to overstate our consternation.Has MSOC recruiting budget been cut?
If so, when did this occur?
Procuring talent is vital to any athletic organization, collegiate or otherwise.
Has the MSOC equipment budget been cut (uniforms, boots, socks, warmups, Gatorade) at all?
Rumor has it that the Nike deal is not so good for UA Soccer programs.
if so, when did this occur?
There are additional specific questions, but let us start with the two above.
Please review and advise.

If Akron MSOC is operating at a strategic disadvantage, I want it out in the open. I want transparency. If these are legitimate excuses, these must be bared for all to see. Zips should have the same support that another public research university to the south enjoys. Marshall. Akron MSOC has earned full financial support from AD. If we are receiving second class treatment from Akron AD, I want everyone to know about it.
Only then can appropriate pressure be appropriately applied.
-
I too want to learn a detailed accounting of how Akron AD has cut resources to MSOC. Exactly when did this change occur? Perhaps the needed change is within the Athletic Department.

How Maximus Barboto #21 does not get more playing time is beyond my reckoning. I would start Max, in the hole. At minimum, he should be in the regular rotation. Maybe Max is not entirely fit, I don't know. I do not understand it.
In my estimation, Victor Gaulmin #25 and Max are both among the best eleven. They should both start.

Ohio's message board started this trend a while back when there is a coaching change. TOS stands for Tim O'Shea, one of OU's former basketball coaches.
Essentially, I'm asking when Embick will be relieved of his duties so we can find a coach who will help us rediscover our excellence.
You need to be very careful with what you are asking for. MSOC does not get the support from AD that they once enjoyed. And the Akron brand has been severely degraded. Which quality coach will come to Akron to replace Embick? If it is just another guy with a license, looking for a job, then we may as well stick with what we’ve got.

Jen Simonetti is a leader I would follow into battle. She has the Caleb Porter intensity behind the eyes.

This play could have gone either way. In my playing days, this was definitely a handball, so sorry. But handball is not so cut and dry nowadays. I say both the VAR assistant and the head referee acted correctly. The system worked.

Are these the adjustments the coaching staff made? 4-0 vs. #13 VCU?! What an outcome!
We have seen Hardin at RB before, pushing Henry up to R Winger. This combination has rendered mixed results. (Full disclosure: I would not have recommended this combination.) Clearly, Embick and staff identified something. Alluding to the obvious, Hardin and Henry appear to be among the swiftest on the team. But both are smallish. Against VCU, our right side put continuous pressure on VCU. It will be interesting to see if this fast but small combination starts Monday versus IU Indy.
Major props go to sophomore Josh Hardin, the diminutive Defender with enormous fighting spirit. He reminds me of a right-footed Nico De Vera (high praise in my book).

No I believe Chant I assume
Yeah. Sadly, they broke decades of tradition, most likely due to inclimate weather and sparse attendance.
Also, music and public announcing seemingly cannot grasp how unimportant they are when compared to the team briefly celebrating with the students.
If folks in the booth do not get it, someone from AD office should get it for them.-

Tears of Joy are streaming down my face, down my arms, my legs, my back. Hell, I’m nearly soaked to the skin. Actually, it was probably the 30+ minutes of torrential downpour to end the match. But the smile has yet to leave my face.
Well done, boys!

Zips will host #13 VCU (according to coaches' poll) tomorrow.
Does anyone even realize this?
Akron Hosts No. 13 VCU - University of Akron Athletics (gozips.com)
If Zips MSOC plays a match, and no one comes to watch, does the inevitable draw still count as one point?

Zips looked VERY tired at the hour mark.
