Attendance has dfinitely dropped off for soccer. You write about sustained success for the last 20+ years. However, Akron did not win an NCAA soccer game for a 5 year period. (2019 to 2023). Also, there has been very little done to promote Akron soccer to the students or the Northeast Ohio soccer community.

He originally began his college career at UCF in 2019, which he missed due to injury. Possessing an extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic, Ydrach excelled with Akron last fall, leveraging a Big East Defensive Player of the Year season into an opportunity with the Riverhounds. He’ll provide depth at a number of different spots, including fullback.

Thanks much for the updates.

any new tweets today by GVD (as he is known by Lane Kiffin)? I hope that Nemer does not choose GVD.

Perry will always be loved in Akron for his fierce mid-field play and his golazo to tie the NCAA semifinals game against Michigan.

Thanks much for posting.... Butler's first game is Feb. 22.......exactly one month away I would assume that the Zips will start their spring college league schedule on Feb. 22 I think that the zips normally try to play 2 games in one day....before the spring schedule starts. Hopefully, we will see a spring roster and spring schedule very soon (🤞🤞)

great find..... Old Dominion roster lists him as a 5'8 155 pound forward..... ODU played 17 games last year... this young man played in 13 of the games...started in 12 of them... played 858 minutes https://odusports.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/season/2024/player/william-arnesen

To have the continuity to do that every year is extremely important to the program and our ability to track players.” “In their(St. L) system of play, they need a target,” Embick said. “They need a guy that can get on the end of things and score. When you look at St. Louis last year, they lacked a goal scorer that stepped up and helped carry the team. I think it’s smart of them to take the best goal scorer eligible in the draft.”

Congratulations to Emil !!!! picked by St. Louis City SC.....in the first round #7 overall pick
