http://unitedsoccercoaches.org/web/Rankings/College_Rankings/NCAA_DI_MEN/web/Rankings/NCAA/DI_MEN.aspx Akron #7 and Western Michigan #4 ....in the coaches ranking I am interested to see where Florida International gets seeded in the NCAA's...they have no losses right now

MSU lost on Sunday to lowly Ohio State

https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men top drawer soccer has the #4 and #5 teams in the country will be playing in Kalamazoo this weekend the Mighty MAC !!!!.....only conference with 2 teams in the top 5 I would think that the Western Michigan "coach"will get some job offers after this year

http://www.gozips.com/news/2017/11/5/mens-soccer-zips-to-open-mac-tournament-play-against-siu-edwardsville.aspx I did not realize that WMU had not given up a goal in the MAC http://wmubroncos.com/news/2017/11/5/no-5-mens-soccer-completes-undefeated-mac-season.aspx

11 am Friday morning

1-0 western michigan at 65 minutes 12th goal of the year for Brandon Bye

https://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI Rank NIU really hurt the zips in RPI down to 10 and just .0002 ahead of the 2 time defending NCAA champs need Notre Dame to lose today Marshall hurt Akron's RPI last night by losing to 1-14 Florida Atlantic and a likely MAC matchup with 135 RPI SIU-E won't help

Stewie's time ofyear : https://www.ohio.com/akron/sports/university-of-akron/ua-mens-soccer-zips-blank-northern-illinois-4-0-to-clinch-at-least-second-place-in-mac

very happy to see two seniors....Sam and Stuart each get a goal on senior night

http://www.wmubroncos.com/news/2017/11/4/msocbg.aspx site of the game to be announced? their football field gets flooded when akron came to town? and now , they might have to find a different soccer venue? tough times in Kalamazoo

I guess they will play tomorrow???

2nd semi next week will be at 2 pm on Friday..... WMU has had a lot of rough weather this year.....they will determine at 2 today if the BGSU at WMU game can be played today

No promotion by Larry Williams and his staff No coverage from the Beacon I am sure that the Beacon will provide some coverage if the zips win the MAC tourney and are a top 8 NCAA seed...but they have provided no coverage during the season. I think they did a writeup before the game against Michigan State. Joao Moutinho seems to be a pretty interesting guy. I would love for the Beacon to do a feature on Joao. Daniel Strachan has been the freshman that has greatly exceeded expectations. I would love to see the Beacon give young Mr. Strachan some press. Skye is a local kid and is vastly improved. Give the young man from Copley some coverage to acknowledge how hard he has worked and how vital he is to the only nationally ranked zips team. The Zips athletic department and the Beacon can do so much more. Sorry to vent.....need to go take my blood pressure med now.....as lack of publicity and coverage honks me off.

http://wmubroncos.com/news/2017/11/2/mens-soccer-broncos-finish-regular-season-hosting-bowling-green.aspx Western Michigan earned the No. 1 seed in the upcoming conference tournament which will be held at the WMU Soccer Complex. The semifinals of the tournament will take place on Friday, Nov. 10 beginning at 11 a.m. and the championship game will be on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 1:00 p.m.

http://unitedsoccercoaches.org/web/Rankings/College_Rankings/NCAA_DI_MEN/web/Rankings/NCAA/DI_MEN.aspx zips have moved from 19 in the coaches poll.....2 weeks ago..to 14 last week to 10 this week

http://www.herdzone.com/sports/m-soccer/recaps/102817aaa.html The zips next opponent defeated Alabama Birmingham in their last game and former Zip Adi Dakwar was the hero. Adi played 58 minutes and had the golden goal. ....and a belated thank you to Adi Dakwar for converting his penalty kick against Stanford in the NCAA semis in 2015.

https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-team-of-the-week:-october-23-29_aid43247 Stuart selected to team of the week

in college soccer news poll...Louisville is 6 and Akron is 11 Louisville has wins over Duke (#8 in top drawer soccer) and Butler (#10 in top drawer) and has a tie against N. Carolina (#3 in top drawer soccer) their 2 losses are to #1 wake and NC State (I don't know much about NC State...but I suspect that they are better than Utah Valley) I know that Travis Clark...at top drawer....thinks the world of Jared Embick.... possibly the TDS writers just don't like Ken Lolla at Louisville???? RPI......takes the personal feelings out of everything.... at the end of the day...Louisville is #4 in RPI...and that will count much more than the top drawer soccer rankings

what is really strange about the NCAA's top 10...is the absence of Louisville Louisville is currently #4 in Gaucho Dan's RPI they did beat Clemson at Clemson this past Friday night...so they would probably be in the top 10 as of 10/29/17 Wake Forest (15-1-0) Indiana (13-0-3) North Carolina (13-2-1) Clemson (11-3-0) Michigan State (11-2-2) Duke (10-3-2) Notre Dame (9-4-2) Western Michigan (13-2-1) Georgetown (11-2-1) Akron (10-3-1) http://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI Rank
