http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/index.ssf/2017/12/nate_shultz_akron_zips_ncaa_soccer.html I can not say enough good things about Nate Shultz. He has improved so much. Very Hard working young man....and his parents have been to almost every single game this year.

president Matthew Wilson is showing some major support this week.... thank you, Mr. President

The major paper in San Francisco did an article about the competition for the zips. http://www.sfgate.com/collegesports/article/The-ruling-class-Stanford-seniors-shoot-for-3rd-12411482.php

Franch1se, thank you for a great post. Great, helpful info. It is always hard to know where to park. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

I know that I have been a critic of the athletic department and the admin for lack of support for the soccer program I am very happy to see this. Thank you to all involved in making this happen.

I know that UAzipster campaigned in the Louisville thread for more playing time for David Egbo and Ezana Kahsay. We will need Sam and Stuart for the full 90 against Stanford. David Egbo and Marcel Zajac will make a great combo at the 3rd forward. Stanford is a very disciplined, well coached, compact defensive team. It will take a special player with skill and speed to help the zips be effective. I am a huge Nick Hinds fan. Manel, Pau, and Skye have done a super job this year in the midfield. It is going to take a gigantic team effort to defeat Stanford. I firmly believe in Nick Hinds, the person and the soccer player. I think that Nick is a special player and person and I think that he will be a great mid game to late game insertion and will make a very positive difference against the Cardinal.
