http://www.gozips.com/news/2017/8/31/mens-soccer-no-16-akron-opens-home-campaign-hosting-no-10-washington.aspx question and comment - does Mark "Munch" Bishop know much about soccer? Robbie D. and Steve F....did great work last year WHAT'S AHEAD The University of Akron men's soccer team opens the home portion of its schedule on Friday, Sept. 1, as the 16th-rated Zips welcome No. 10 Washington to FirstEnergy Stadium - Cub Cadet Field for a 7 p.m. tilt. The contest will be televised on ESPN3/Watch ESPN with Mark "Munch" Bishop calling the action.

http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index.php/articles/1076-upcoming-contests-that-should-be-interesting-and-perhaps-revealing Akron hosts Washington on Friday . The Zips began the season with tough 1-0 on the road losses to Utah Valley and Denver. Akron played well but was unable to come up with the big plays they needed on the offensive side of the ball to prevail. Washington will arrive in Akron with a 2-0-0 recored after securing a 2-1 win over New Mexico and a 2-0 win over Loyola Marymount. Akron's back is to the wall as they seek to get into the win column, prevent a three loss start, and remain in the national rankings. A win over Akron would be a nice resume builder and huge confidence builder for Washington as well. This key early season contest should be a dandy.

Washington is #10 in the soccer coaches poll.... Zips dropped from 16 in preseason poll to 24 after Friday thru Sunday's game Friday night = must win http://unitedsoccercoaches.org/web/Rankings/College_Rankings/NCAA_DI_MEN/web/Rankings/NCAA/DI_MEN.aspx

Riverhounds press release......adds another impressive stat for Victor's excellent performance against Adam Najem and Bethlehem 10 possessions gained http://www.riverhounds.com/news_article/show/828136?referrer_id=2869741 In addition, midfielder Victor Souto was named to the Team of the Week bench for his performance last weekend. Souto starred defensively tying for the team-lead with 10 possessions gained and two tackles, as well as leading the club with four interceptions.

http://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/828091?referrer_id=2333971 Congratulations again to both Jake Fenlason and Victor Souto. Jake and Victor were both named to the 18 man USL team of the week. Jake was picked as the best goalie of the week in the 30 team league. Victor did not have a goal or assist....which is normally a prerequisite for making the team of the week....but the coaches must have been very impressed by his interceptions, clearances and excellent passing Great to see former zips.....doing so well....

I did not pay to watch the game.....on video feed... and it sure would have been nice if the akron soccer SID had publicized that the game would be televised on directv channel 681 The 4 defenders have performed much better than I ever dreamed that they would... Washington will be another test....they started off the year with a 2-1 win over New Mexico(Lobos are always good) and a 2-0 win over Loyola Marymount.

team needs Sam to get healthy. This team will score goals with Sam, Stuart and Nick all playing for 90 minutes.

tweet from zipsmsoc 45'- Lundt comes off his line and mistimes his tackle. Yellow card and a penalty. DU slots it home to take a 1-0 lead into HT.

great to see Niko healthy in the lineup also good to see Nick Hinds and Skye Harter both in the lineup Zips Starting XI tonight: Lundt, Strachan, Kahsay, Moutinho, Cordeiro, Hackworth, De Vera, Hinds, Shultz, Harter, and Holthusen link to live stats (not springing for $9.95 for a web feed) http://www.denverpioneers.com/gametracker/launch/gt_msoccer.html?event=1548034&school=denv&sport=msoccer&camefrom=&startschool=&

It is always good to see former zips match up. Victor and Adam are both super hard workers......and I am rooting for both to become fixtures on MLS teams.

Looks like the cheapest subscription to watch....is a monthly fee of $9.95

Adam Najem and Victor Souto matched up for the first time as pros on Saturday night as pros. Hopefully, they will both have long, healthy careers. Victor's team (the riverhounds) defeated Bethlehem 3-2 Adam completed 29 of 37 passes and had 1 interception. Victor completed 40 of 49 passes ; had 4 interceptions and had 3 clearances out of the box

Congrats to Darlington Nagbe for being named to the world cup qualifying team DeAndre is still recuperating from his injury. https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2018-world-cup-qualifying/2017/8/24/16198728/deandre-yedlin-usa-usmnt-world-cup-qualifying-injury-newcastle

Congratulations to Jake Fenlason, who got his first career shutout in Orlando City B's 3-0 win over USL East Divison leader Louisville on Saturday night.

zips bio lists only a sister for Dillon http://www.gozips.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2112

welcome..... a midfield of Cordeiro, Harter and Hinds....sounds much better than Cordeiro, Hackworth and Belana Moutinho has been an incredible late addition. Hopefully, Niko can recover quickly from his injury...Moutinho and Brown as the 2 center backs would work well with Nate and Niko Announcers were very complimentary of Nate Shultz last night. Nate's game has really improved over the past few years

utah valley site....shows the corner kick goal... my video was frozen .....last night and I missed it live injuries hurt the zips last night...but utah valley played without their all american...hoffmeister hope to see Nick Hinds playing 90 minutes on Monday embick's comments on zips site: "We are disappointed with the result, especially with the manner in which we gave up the goal," Akron head coach Jared Embick commented. "We have a tough schedule and to open up on the road in a difficult environment is not easy. We had some positives and we will have to build on them. Right now we need to focus on rebounding for Monday." http://gouvu.com/news/2017/8/25/mens-soccer-no-16-wolverines-knock-off-no-13-akron-1-0.aspx

have to agree with Jonathan lewis Nick Hinds not playing until the 60th minute......is not good for the zips

awful clearance kick by Ben Lundt... they scored on the ensuing corner kick.... Ben's clearance kick went sideways and backwards

have been told that Sam was injured in exhibition game against Loyola (MD)

and Nick Hinds is not starting in the midfield

going to be very tough tonight without Sam Gainford and Niko DeVera

this is not worth creating a separate list for... Top Drawer soccer put together a top 20 player list for each conference (which is a joke....because....it is tough to compare defenders to midfielders, forwards and goalies)....plus, they show Nick Hinds as a defender...and he will be playing in the midfield this year I will say that a healthy Stuart Holthusen (like we saw in the magical 2015 NCAA tournament run) deserves to be much higher on their list) 1 Sam Gainford ForwardAkron 2 Nicholas Hinds DefenderAkron 3 Kyle Dal Santo GoalkeeperSIUE 4 Pau Belana MidfielderAkron 5 Devyn Jambga ForwardSIUE 6 Jad Arslan MidfielderWest Virginia 7 Zachary BockDefenderWestern Michigan 8 Stuart Holthusen ForwardAkron 9 Brandon ByeMidfielderWestern Michigan 10 Anthony MwembiaGoalkeeperBowling Green 11 Mohamed AwadMidfielderSIUE 12 Tate RobertsonForwardBowling Green 13 Andrew ShepherdGoalkeeperWestern Michigan 14 Niko De VeraDefenderAkron 15 Louis ThomasDefenderWest Virginia 16 Greg SolawaMidfielderSIUE 17 Keegan McHughMidfielderSIUE 18 Luke ReadDefenderNorthern Illinois 19 Ben LundtGoalkeeperAkron 20 Steven JamesDefenderWest Virginia
