Embick is obviously very disappointed with the NC State the 3 players praised by coach Embick...are David Egbo, Joe Korb, and Marco Micaletto........ hmmm....seems to me that our line up expert.......has been praising the same young men

credit to the Rowdies...for good artwork in their tweet. This young team with 19 new players....needs strong support from the Rowdies

Washington , the zips opponent on Sept. 9, lost last night 3-2 in double overtime to Denver

Butler faced Western Michigan this afternoon https://butlersports.com/news/2018/8/30/mens-soccer-no-11-butlermsoccer-posts-2-0-road-win-over-no-16-western-michigan.aspx

once again, Akron's weekend match is considered one of the top 5 matches of the weekend. I suspect that the same thing will occur next weekend with one of the games in Washington In the article...you can also note college soccer fans will be able to watch Stanford at Maryland on Fox Sports 1 on Friday night https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-top-5-matches-to-watch:-aug-31_aid44656 Saturday, September 1 Pittsburgh (1-1) at No. 2 Akron (0-1-1), 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Another ACC test arrives in Akron after the Zips lost 2-0 to a solid NC State squad. With so many new faces in Akron, it’s not a huge surprise to see the team start slow as they look to configure their attack around sophomore forward David Egbo. Pittsburgh, which is rapidly improving under head coach Jay Vidovich, is going to look to come away with a famous win in this one. Forward Edward Kizza scored a hat trick in a Monday matchup against Delaware, and he’s one of a handful of players that have shown that they can make an impact. Prediction: Pittsburgh 2-2 Akron

Thank you for the insider info on Skye. A very knowledgeable soccer fan sitting near me at Friday's game commented that Skye did not look 100% healthy.

I would like to see Skye Harter get some more playing time against Pitt. Skye has been with the program for many years and he should be very motivated for the zips to get a win over Pitt's co-captain Shane Wiedt ( a former Zip) In the first 2 games for Pitt, both former Zips - Wiedt and Robby Dambrot have started both games and Dambrot even scored a goal in their most recent game. and yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and it will be very weird to see Keith Dambrot in non Akron colors....Go, Zips !!! In terms of the lineup, I have been impressed with Nikolic's willingness to "rifle" a shot at the goal. That can lead to rebound chances if the keeper can not handle cleanly. I might be inclined to insert Nikolic into the "3" in a 4-2-3-1 if Colin Biros struggles early. Skye had a stretch last year where he did very well on corner kicks. Having some height in the lineup like Braden Petno and Nikolic could lead to good results if Skye is putting corner kicks in dangerous places
