Let me tell you of expectations. I EXPECT to win the MAC Tournament every single year, and the automatic NCAA Tournament bid that comes along with doing so. Period! Until conference membership changes dramatically, the MAC will remain a second-tier soccer league. And! It! Is! Ours! I EXPECT to beat MAC teams at home, especially squads that do not even have a winning record. Every time! No exceptions! I EXPECT to earn a first round bye to the NCAA Tournament in most, if not every, year. Must have NCAA Tournament matches at home! I EXPECT dominating football! Passion, Poise, and Purpose! I EXPECT a team who EXPECTS to win! I EXPECT some of the best and brightest youngsters on the continent to fall all over each other to sign here. Akron is among the oldest collegiate soccer programs in the country; we are approaching 60 years. There is a great tradition here. No program has more indirect funding or better facilities. A few programs have as good, but none have better. “Possession without penetration is just masturbation, and right now, the Zips are just playing with themselves!”

Stevenson...Brenes....Abdul-Salaam ..............Caso.....Najem................. ....................Souto....................... Derschang..................Gallego..... ............Souder......Cross............ ......................Pena................... Embick is still experimenting. Glad to see Quinn play in the second half. Surrendering late goal was deplorable.

I actually think #20 is a bit charitable. In contrast, watch these highlights from last night's Maryland @ Notre Dame. http://bit.ly/1bHm5Mx Zips had better start finishing! Tonight!

Has anyone been able to verify this?

Spurs? Now I really dislike Shakespeare!

That is terrible news. Best of luck to a charming kid. The challenge was unnecessarily reckless on his part. A young man trying to make a play, but he really sold out for the ball when his prospects were mostly speculative. Hard luck. I feel really bad for the guy and hope for his speedy recovery.

You would know, so you make the call. Parnell's Irish Pub looks a bit high-brow for a rabble such as us.

They are improving, and we are regressing. Even so, if we lose, albeit on the road, to CSU, things will get VERY UGLY. Crew8, where to meet?

Well said. Here is to hoping Coach Embick can right the ship.

Brenes is a Forward forced into playing Striker. See you there. How many drinks?

Yeah, get with it, Z.I.P.

Those Inglorious Basterds once again invade FE/CC on S/10/5/2013. Hartwick is one of the oldest and storied soccer programs in the land. I remember training to the Hartwick system as a lad. Sadly, under Coach John Scott, Hartwick has sunk to the level of common thuggery. They have no technique, no tactics, and little interest in the beautiful game. But what they do have is a bunch of stout fellows who run fast and tackle hard - very hard. Hartwick would just as soon clatter your ankles as shake your hand. Zips be warned! Watch for the counter on a wet pitch, and wear the heavy shin-guards. http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2013-14/rele.../20131004e7t3t8

No worries! Just playing along! Most people will not even remember your reference (sadly) because the issue of going to play at UCONN never even came up.

Believe it or not, I still have that match recorded. And I have recently viewed it. Ampai was clearly injured and should have sat out the match. Porter erred in not playing Speas more in MF. Nagbe should have dropped back to MF. Yoram Mwila (RIP) should have played up top with Bunbury. BTW, Teal Bunbury played about as poorly as anyone in that match - and then he won the Hermann Trophy 6 weeks later. Go figure!

Not funny! Of course, the seeding won't matter if we fall in PKs to an inferior opponent AT HOME.

23-0-2 We will never forget!

23-1-1 23-0-2

Coaches Poll, already linked here, is most "accurate". NSCAA = #9 TDS = #12 CSN = #10 SA = #5 Bear in mind that NCAA selection commitee uses RPI, using formula for Strength Of Schedule. Zips are currently at #27. This will change a lot before tournament. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1...mens_soccer_rpi

Very imprecise and disjointed passing! Zips were lucky to string together any multiple passes that weren't in their own half. Some careless defensive turnovers could have easily cost them the match. Chalk it as a conference win on the road, but it was far from inspiring.

Zips nearly surrender a garbage header goal.

Remember two years ago, when many here protested interaction from the pep band? I think WV Mountaineers sound great at HT. ............Brenes...... Stevenson....Portillos Derschang....Foldesy ............Souto......... Ruhaak..Abdul-Salaam ....Galego......Souders .............Pena............

HT. I am happy that local boy Brad Ruhaak got the start, but he had better calm down and get it together.

Thanks. I had the same link....... whatever. Working now.

Anyone have the stream? Brenes scored, but I didn't see it.
