appreciate the "inside scoop" Hopefully, the Beacon will do a nice writeup before the home opener on the 24th. I had e-mailed 2 of their writers...the day before practice started...to try to get a writeup at that point.....but I was unsuccessful in getting coverage from the Beacon

The Suburbanite does nice writeups on the zips http://www.thesuburbanite.com/sports/20180815/zips-once-again-facing-roster-makeover-challenges-as-new-season-begins

https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2018/8/15/mens-soccer-no-2-indiana-drops-1-0-decision-to-no-6-louisville-in-exhibition-match.aspx this is a writeup on their exhibition against Louisville. I can't see from their schedule...that there will be live stats.. However, the article has a link to the IU soccer twitter account...and it looks like IU soccer twitter was updated very frequently during the game against Louisville. I am certain...that Akron will not be sending the soccer SID to Ft. Wayne

https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2018/8/15/mens-soccer-hoosiers-unanimously-selected-as-big-ten-preseason-favorites.aspx the Hoosiers were selected unanimously to win the big ten this year.... I also read somewhere else...that the hoosiers lost wed. night 1-0 in an exhibition to Louisville

thank you for sharing Brad's tweet and the great article... I learned so much new information. I hope that David can recover quickly and that the brothers can play together.

The Beacon with an article on Akron U.'s best team...by far !!! https://www.ohio.com/akron/sports/university-of-akron/university-of-akron-soccer-zips-take-cleveland-states-best-shot-and-still-prevail-2-0-in-exhibition-match?utm_source=pulse morning&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pulse morning

CVCA alum Braden Petno getting a start tonight

Thank you for being brave and submitting these proposed line ups....right back could be the hardest position to fill on the team if I remember correctly, Nate was recruited as a forward...but he really developed into a very good right back. Daniel Strachan is going to be great for this team.....Whether it is as a right back, center back or def. holding midfielder...I am not smart enough to say Sammy Tojaga is another player that can fill multiple spots in the 11

another goal for Aodhan in 4-3 win

https://gozips.com/news/2018/8/12/mens-soccer-akron-continues-exhibition-campaign-hosting-cleveland-state.aspx Entering his second season as head coach at Cleveland State, Kirk Harwat was named the 2002 Mid-American Conference Newcomer of the Year and twice earned first-team All-MAC honors. A two-time All-America honoree and 2006 MAC Player of the Year, Sinisa Ubiparipovic starred for the Zips for three seasons (2004-06) and was named a first-team All-MAC selection as a junior and senior.

I hope that DeAndre is able to bounce back quickly https://sports.yahoo.com/deandre-yedlin-leaves-newcastle-game-potentially-serious-knee-injury-132805084.html

It is great to see former zips supporting the team

zip web site....does a good job of telling everyone where the opponents are ranked https://gozips.com/news/2018/8/7/akron-tabbed-as-no-4-in-united-soccer-coaches-preseason-mens-soccer-poll.aspx

https://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/940021 Aodhan Quinn selected once again as one of the 18 best players in the USL last week. Aodhan is having a tremendous season for Orange County

Pretty exciting first game of the year with #9 Butler coming to Cub Cadet Field !!!

it is nice to see some discussion on the board The 2009 team had many talented freshman and went 23-0-0 Last year's final four team had Joao and Daniel Strachan as the 2 starting center backs Daniel Strachan is going to be excellent for the zips again this year...whether he is a center DB...or if he is a holding midfielder (as shown in the lineup bravely submitted by buflobo). Two players...that have not been mentioned yet,...redshirt freshman Braden Petno and Colin Biros, will both be able to contribute up front this year . The addition of 2 exciting , skilled seniors (Marco and Abdi) adds so much to this year's team. If this team has 5 freshman starting by NCAA tourney time, I think that this team will go very deep in the tourney as that will mean that the recruits are as good as their press clippings.
