  1. I think Ezana Kaysay has found a new home on the left flank. He really seems to flourish with a bit more real estate to work with. Our formation/system is evidently going to be 4-2-3-1. Holthusen plays the 1 better than Kahsay, and Kahsay looks really dangerous on the outside left (as one of the 3).
  2. Those 4 in bold are pretty good MSOC programs, ones we have played recently in our out-of-conference schedule. Conference USA is a teneble solution, really for our entire athletics program.
  3. BiG10 is the logistical choice, if they would have us. I doubt we meet minimum facility requirements for BBall and FBall. Even if they would take us, not so sure that Akron BBall and FBall would be happy about it.

  5. Great to see Joe Korb in action. He did not do much besides work up a sweat. Good for him! Kid has had a rough go.
  6. You have the personnel right, but the formation was 4-2-3-1. This is evidenced by the shape taken after we lost the ball, when we dropped back. This is not to say that we will keep this formation, though I prefer it. Embick likes being able to use multiple formations, as would a professional side. Kahsay subbed for Crawford, taking LM and moving Gainford to CM. I sure hope Reggie Laryea will recover by April 9th. He was doing well before he walked off gingerly. Joe Korb saw first action at RB, late in the contest. Holhusen Gainford Crawford Zajac (Kahsay) Harter Belana De Vera Weidt Laryea Shultz (Hackworth) Costa
  7. It was cold. Contrasting styles. ND is very direct, to great efficacy. Akron held the ball. ND always pushes forward, with long diagonal passes. Same as last year. Think West Bromwich vs, Arsenal. Holthusen, Zajac, and De Vera were keys.
  8. Hey! That guy looks awfully familiar. I think I know him.
  9. With Justin Meram's recent contract (last week) it was only a matter of time before Wil Trapp got his.
  10. Players for academies (Internationals) often do not play high school ball. They are discouraged from doing so.
  11. Big Ben kept matters from becoming laughable with some phenominal saves.
  12. As I understand it: One long season with one long break. Championship in Spring. Matches to be one per week (or so).
  13. ⚽️❤AN10‼
  14. That is a first rate promotional video.
  15. Mmmm. Not a big fan of freshman talking trash.?
  16. Have watched Petno since he was in Jr. High, a match or two each year. He has improved every year. Frankly, he is surprisingly good. Good players can usually be spotted by time of puberty. Petno is a late bloomer. Who knows what he will become. Very good middle distance runner in Track. Excellent wheels. Offensive minded but probably not a classic #9. Big & Fast! His father was a high school team mate of mine.
  17. All four are coming to Akron? Really?
  18. DarNag was consensus MOTM in an otherwise lackluster match vs. Serbia.
  19. Please use your "voice" to inform AD that more soccer coverage is justly warranted, whether in season or out. This is not necessarily an indictment of Sean Palchik's work ethic. It is incumbent upon management in AD to get the job done with their available resources. I would not presume to suggest how AD should be structured. What I do know is that important off-season events occur in every sport. National Signing Day is an important annual milestone for MSOC. I merely ask SID to please take notice, to give Akron's proudest program the attention it has earned.
  20. Out of likes for the day. So many good memories. Thanks, Adam. We will never forget.
