This zips team should be very proud. An absolutely fantastic performance (other than the one glaring error at the end of the game). The zips played Akron soccer for the entire first half. They were aggressive on defense and they pressured Xavier relentlessly on offense. This team brought the energy and they had purpose all night. This was the best performance all year (IMHO). Congratulations to the Zips. You should be very happy and very proud.

Dominant soccer from the Zips in the first half.... now, let's get a goal or two. Zips led 5-0 in shots on goal and 9-0 in corner kicks in the first half.

The Akron team that was on the field last night ...would lose badly to the Akron team that defeated Wake Forest earlier in the year. This team has talent....as evidenced by some of the quality wins earlier in the year. The team that played Cleveland State (#154 in RPI) last night....is not deserving of an NCAA top 16 seed. As evidenced by wins over top 20 teams (Cornell and Wake Forest), the team is capable of winning many games in the NCAA tournament. The defense on this team is elite. Matthew Paiva should be the Big East defensive player of the year. Cole Perez is one of the best freshmen in the country. I hope that last nigh's close encounter ...will provide a spark and lead to an inspired performance Saturday night against a co Big East Midwest leader.

Akron stays at #9 in the coaches ranking https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

I will be absolutely shocked if Georgetown is not playing in the College cup. When they played Akron, they generated offense from both sides of the field. I don't know if it was wingers or outside backs, but they were so dangerous from the wings. They are at another level among big east teams. When they played Providence, they beat the Friars 6-1. The scores in their 5 big east games are 3-0 3-1 6-1 3-0 4-0 they play Villanova next.....they could put up a touchdown and a field goal

Georgetown made a gigantic statement tonight number 3 Georgetown played at number 7 Pitt Georgetown won 6-1 and it was not that close Georgetown led 21-6 in shots it was 15-2 in shots on goal At One point, they led 7-1 in corners ended at 7-3

Akron drops only from #10 to #11 in college soccer news poll. I hope that the Zips are ready for Cleveland State on Tuesday. Cleveland State has a record of 6-4-3. This is Cleveland State's super bowl. Long time zips fans will remember that the 2010 national championship team only lost 1 game all year. That loss in 2010 was at Cleveland State. Cleveland State's leading scorer is Domenic Ruggiero. He is a freshman from St. Ignatius. Ruggiero is going to be motivated to beat the Northeast powerhouse soccer team. Their goal keeper is 6'7 Alkesandar Kolar from Strongsville. I know that Xavier is a big game in the Big East. The Zips need to come out strong against Cleveland State. https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-soccer-week-9-top-25-poll-michigan-state-pushing-towards-top-5/

Akron is showing at 16. They were leaped today by Stanford. Stanford is now 15 in RPI after playing to a 0-0 tie with SMU (#1 in coaches poll ; #4 in RPI)

Kaminski made 2 outstanding saves late in the game when the zips were down 1-0.

This instagram post is from September 16.... However, it just popped up tonight in my instagram news feed. https://www.instagram.com/p/DdWLzN-RfHr/ Welcome to Akron soccer, Hugo Enander. It is late...so I have done very limited research. It appears that Hugo is a 6'1 forward. He also plays for Darlington Soccer academy (the recruit that I posted about on Tuesday..also plays for that academy) It appears that the academy is sometimes known as Southern Soccer academy. Hugo's Hometown is listed as Nassau, New Providence (Bahamas). His recruiting profile says he was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Hugo is also mentioned in the article below. It appears that Darlington soccer academy did very well in 2026 in MLS next cup. https://www.darlingtonschool.org/news/u17-soccer-academy-ranked-third-in-the-nation-following-mls-next-cup-run

Thursday October 15 Creighton and Xavier finished in a 1-1 tie. I believe that both teams now have 2 wins and 3 ties. Hopefully, Georgetown will win against Creighton when the two teams play. Xavier dominated the statistics in tonight’s game. 18-5 on shots 7-4 on SOG 7-3 in corner kicks

Writeup from Providence web site Providence is 4-0-1 this year at home. Akron and Providence have only played once before. A 3-3 tie at Akron in 2023. https://friars.com/news/2026/10/14/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-hosts-no-9-akron-for-big-east-matchup

I had to go back to December 1, 2025 to find this topic.... of course, Ivory Covington enrolled in Akron a full year early and started in August 26. I have been told that Lazar Ivanis was very impressive this past summer in playing for Akron City FC. Yesterday, the Zips added another 2027 recruit. Welcome to Akron soccer....Mr. Lance Carroll Lance is a 6'4 center back from Rome, Georgia. He was born in the Bahamas and has already made multiple appearances for the Bahamas men's national team. I am looking forward to seeing Lance and Lazar in zips blue and gold. Go, Zips !!! https://www.instagram.com/p/DeaYeBrGNCa/?img_index=1

Congratulations to Matthew Paiva for winning Big East defensive player of the week It is a travesty that Matthew is not on the mid year Hermann Trophy watch list. Matthew has been playing All America caliber soccer all year. https://www.bigeast.com/news/2026/10/12/four-teams-earn-big-east-mens-soccer-weekly-honors.aspx
