https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=54085&articleTitle=top-pro-prospects-in-mens-di-first-round Emil Jaaskelainan, Akron – One of the best international recruits in college soccer, Jaaskelainan took the step up from LIU to Akron and finished with the best season of his career. His stats are incredible: 66 goals in 82 games, with 21 assists. He had 30 goal contributions for the Zips in 19 games, and is all but a lock to be the TDS Player of the Year. There’s certainly a level of pro soccer out there for him, as he turns 24 next year. That could be back in England, in his native Finland or perhaps even a USL spot here. An MLS team out there surely can’t overlook him after the season he’s had, though there’s little doubt that he will look to keep his college career going in Thursday’s matchup against Princeton. Daniel Ittycheria, Princeton – It’s been a banner year for Ivy League men’s soccer, with three teams in the 48-team tournament field. The Ivy League tournament champs travel to Ohio to face Akron. Ittycheria is a dynamic wide attacker who can feature through the middle. The PDA product has a good chance of getting picked in the MLS Draft, though he could end up returning for his final season next fall.

my apologies I now see that you had mens portal date below the 4 ladies not being very familar with the players, I went to stats Sugar played in 3 games Kirsten played in 6 I did not Koly's name Langstaff played in all 18 games...She is a defender ...so no goals and no assists https://gozips.com/documents/2024/8/15/AKRON_WSOC-24.pdf

Dumb question.... did the womens transfer Portal open 1 week before the men's portal opens? I was thinking that I had seen that the men's portal would open on November 25.

Leaders do not make statements that make 80% to 85% of their athleties feel inferior. That is what Guthrie did when he told every non football player that they had to accept the fact that Akron is a "football" school. Georgia is a football school. Georgia swimmers have won many national titles. Georgia tennis players have won many national titles. Georgia tennis players and Georgia Swimmers respect Georgia football players because they are elite star athletes that compete at the highest level. Georgia elite athletes in their top non football sports respect that Georgia is a football school. Akron mens basketball players and Akron men's soccer players compete every year to get into the NCAA tournament. Those athletes do not want to be talked down to and told that "Akron is a football school" when they know that Akron football will win 1 to 3 games every year. Another Great example. - I worked for 6 years in Bloomington when Bobby Knight was coaching Indiana University (IU)men's basketball and Jerry Yeagley was coaching men's soccer at that time. IU was also doing great in swimming and diving at that time. Did IU football bring in more revenue than basketball and soccer? Yes !!!....However, the IU Athletic Director was a man of dignity and he appreciated all student athletes. The IU athletic director would never have told national championship winning athletes that they had to accept the fact that IU was a "football" school. Guthrie's bold statement was offensive and showed poor judgement and a tremendous lack of respect.

Can anyone refresh my memory? Was the Ohio State game originally scheduled to be played on Sunday? Was the game first moved to Tuesday with the hope that it could be played on the Akron Campus? My memory is that by Tuesday...the field was still not playable so they moved the game to Wednesday. Did Northwestern end up having 3 days more rest than Akron? I think that Northwestern won their game on Sunday. Was the real temperature for the Ohio State at Akron game in the neighborhood of -5 degrees ? (maybe colder) I flew fron Nashville to Cleveland Tuesday night to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. When I got off the plane, my first question to my parents was "Did the Zips soccer team beat Ohio State on Tuesday night? " (I had told them that the game would be on 1350 radio). My dad smiled and said "The game has been moved to St. V on Wednesday and your mom, you and I are going to the game". It was a bone chilling to watch 1:09:55 of soccer action ...but it is one of my fondest memories with my parents in their later years (my mom passed away in early 2010). There was nothing better than watching Caleb Porter teams in tournament action during Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving week 2009 - My mom's heart was too weak to go to tournament game in 2009. My dad and I watched the Zips beat Indiana in 2009 NCAA action during the week of Thanksgiving (My mom was glued to the radio...listening to the great Steve French broadcast the game).

@fknbuflobo......I think #1 ....is what you are looking for.... maybe around 2:40 in the video.......but you will enjoy watching #10 to #2....... can you find yourself in the crowd behind the goal?

George went to fund raising at Case Western when Guthrie brought in Markus Jennings. George was number 2 guy at Akron when Larry Williams was AD. https://gozips.com/sports/2017/5/25/athletics-staffdirectory-bio-George-Van-Horne

Latest weather forecast from the Beacon Journal Thursday: Snow showers likely before 10 a.m, then rain and snow showers between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., then snow showers after 4 p.m. High near 36. Breezy, with a west wind 13 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. Thursday night: Snow showers. Low around 28. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.

Guthrie is always the hero...when he is telling the story !!!! You can believe what you want to believe. Other athletic directors considered him to be a narcissist and a snow boater. You are talking about the same athletic director ......who at last year's student athletic meeting....told Caleb Borneo and other student athletes....that Akron is a "football" school and that athletes in minor sports needed to get used to Akron being a football school. That arrogant comment by Guthrie did not go over well with men's soccer players and men's basketball players and other fine student athletes. Chuckles talked a good game and claimed credit for everything. As YipaZip accurately said in the 2nd post in this topic..............................."Hopefully the new AD cares more about soccer. " Personally, I hope that the next AD has a smaller amount of arrogance and narcissism. I also hope that the next AD does not call in "sick" on senior day when he is out secretly interviewing for another job (and violating terms in his contract).

I am glad that we don't have to play Fordham in NCAA soccer https://fordhamsports.com/news/2024/11/18/general-charles-guthrie-named-director-of-intercollegiate-athletics-and-recreation-at-fordham-university.aspx

very wise advice from a dedicated fan.....who was passionately follwing Zips soccer when George and Louie starred on the pitch. 1 game at a time. 3 years ago, all of us were absoutely ecstatci because we got to play patsy Santa Clara in the first round. This year, on paper.......according to RPI....;.the Zips are an underdog.... #34 Akron vs. #17 Princeton on Sunday, Princeton dominated the #6 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Ivy League had 3 teams rated in the top 25 by RPI. The Big East only had 2teams in Top 25 RPI. Seton Hall finished in the top half of the Big East. When Princeton played Seton Hall, Princeton pounded them 5-2 No looking ahead for our beloved Zips........Weather is going to be cold and slippery. The Zips need to come out ready to play against a top 20 RPI team

Will game be on espn plus or will the zips have to use FloFC?

West Virginia has one loss all year..... they are 12-1-7 if I am WVU coach, I am furious
