Let's face it.....Connecticut , with their performance in the last 5-7 years, is a shell of their teams in the 2000's. They are not going to sell any extra tickets. Canisius was forecast to win their league and could be playing in the NCAA tourney. I still am very happy with the coaching staff and the Athletic dept for finding a D1 opponent that could be playing in the NCAA tourney. This team could not afford to be off from September 9 to September 20 before facing a quality team in Grand Canyon at their beautiful facility. This team needs a win and they need time playing together. 19 new players this year. Carlo Ritaccio will be back for tonight's game. I am glad that he has another game to gel with the back line and the midfielders. I am hopeful that Marcel Zajac and Diogo Pacheco will both get some playing time tonight. I have a good feeling that a healthy Marcel Zajac playing upfront with David Egbo will open up a few seams and help the Zips be more dynamic offensively. Last year's team struggled early with injuries to Stuart and Sam. Marcel Zajac is going to be an important part of this team's success in 2018. I am very glad that the coaches acted quickly after Ray Reid and Connecticut bailed on tonight's matchup. I am very pleased that this team has an opportunity to improve and gain some confidence tonight.

Michigan State is now 5-0-2 after a 2-2 tie with Yale Portland improves to 5-0-1 with a 1-0 win over Washington

http://www.dispatch.com/sports/20180913/crew-sc--wil-trapp-growing-into-captains-role-with-us-team FS1 sideline reporter Katie Witham shared during that Jan. 28 match that New England Revolution midfielder Kelyn Rowe told her he would “run through a brick wall and a fire” for Wil Trapp.

I had no knowledge of the Cal Baptist Lancers and it depressed me that they beat a team that had knocked off the zips. Cal Baptist plays for the first year ever in the WAC for soccer so their game against Seattles was a league game. Pretty good debut to knock last year's WAC tourney champion. Looks like this is their first year in div. 1. Cal Baptist is 4-2-1. 3-0 win over St. Peters ; 3-1 loss to Manhattan ;5-2 win over Gonzaga ; 2-1 loss to San Diego ; 1-1 tie with Cal State Fullerton ; 2-1 win over Wofford

Canisius is 1-2-1 Defeated Robert Morris 3-0 in opener Lost 3-2 to Northern Kentucky lost 3-2 to Michigan State 0-0 with Bucknell they have had 2 games cancelled due to weather...Michigan and St. Francis (PA) credit to the zips soccer coaching staff at Akron for being able to find a replacement for Connecticut

AKRON, Ohio – The impending landfall of Hurricane Florence has necessitated a scheduling change for the University of Akron men's soccer team on Saturday, Sept. 15, as the Zips' scheduled opponent – Connecticut will be unable to make it to FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field due to travel considerations associated with the storm. Akron has added Canisius to its schedule as a replacement for the Huskies on Saturday, Sept. 15, with the Zips hosting the Golden Griffins at 7 p.m. Canisius was tabbed to win the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference this season.

Let's hope that Z.I.P. enjoys watching a zips win on the PAC network...and that he keeps us nice folks on the zips nation board updated...with his thoughts on the game

Sanchez at SiU-E....is a very good coach SIU-E....could be a more dangerous MAC opponent this year than Western Michigan I am glad that the zips play SIU-E late in October. Hopefully,the young zips will improve during the year. SIU-E plays Grand Canyon tomorrow....2 zip opponents and both are pretty good https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/siue-shuts-out-wisconsin_aid44764
