That is a really strong result for St. John's....on the road.... Akron will have their hands full with St. John's when they come to Akron on October 3. If memory serves me correctly, St. John's also has a 5-0 win this year over New Hampshire (New Hampshire appeared in seven straight NCAA's from 2017-2023). St. John's will host Marshall on Friday September 5......so they are really playing a tough schedue

another fabulous article....about Richie..... Richie was a fiery competitor at Akron.....Toronto is fortunate to have a "Warrior" on their team https://www.thestar.com/sports/tfc/no-matter-what-position-he-plays-richie-laryea-a-driving-force-for-toronto-fc/article_1b8f151d-750e-5186-aa75-a76a21a323c2.html

The quotes in this article....about Richie Laryea...are absolutely glowing there are so many quotes that I am not allowed to post all of them.... please click on the article....and read about former Zip Richie https://wakingthered.com/2025/08/31/20909/osorio-was-the-goal-hero-but-laryea-vilsaint-play-big-hand-in-toronto-fc-draw-with-cf-montreal/ CanMNT and TFC veteran Richie Laryea occupied the role of a center-back, instead of his usual role at full-back. However, Laryea was everywhere, making deep runs all the way to the CFMTL box, and sometimes controlling possession as an advanced No. 8. “Richie has become, for us, wherever we need somebody, for whatever reason, he just goes there, and he’s excelled in everything I’ve asked him to do,” (head coach) Fraser said. “And I’ve asked him to do probably six or seven different things this year.” Goalscorer and the man of the moment, Osorio, was also full of praise for Laryea, acknowledging that people might already know how good he is, but Laryea may not be getting the proper respect he deserves. “I can’t speak highly enough about that guy,” Osorio said. “He is an unbelievable competitor, an unbelievable footballer. He plays where he’s told to play, and he does the job. I think a lot of people know how good he is, but actually, I think even he deserves even more respect than he actually gets. Because that guy is a top-level player.”

Saturday August 30th The big East went 0-2 tonight The really bad loss is that Bellarmine (from the Atlantic Sun conference) defeated Xavier 3-1 St. Louis (at home) had a 1-0 win over Seton Hall. Cornell will be a tough non league game for the Zips. Cornell finally opened their season tonight with a 3-0 win over LeMoyne I think that there are 4 games on sunday...involving Zips opponents. Northern KY at Western Illinois 2 Manhattan at UConn 6 St. Johns at Wake Forest 7 pm Temple at Ohio State 7 pm

The soccer ball in last night’s game should be super healthy. The ball recuperated many, many times in last night’s game. the announcer was laughably very bad.

very well taken corner kick by Akron.....

Zips played absolutely ferocious defense tonight. Great game plan, great effort from the players.... Ashton and Matthew Paiva......make a tremendous duo on that side of the field. Matt Dreas and Jack Sullivan/Tyler Morck....were excellent in ball winning at midfield.

the announcer is just horrible...... several times, he called Tyler Morck.....Tyler Bush That being said, outstanding defensive game plan by the Zips.... outstanding swarming defense.

https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ The United Soccer Coaches have released their most current vote....and they say that the number 16 ranked Zips will host the number 10 ranked Moutaineers this FRiday night.

Caleb Borneo and Jack Sullivan and Remi Agunbiade , to me, were the bright spots in tonight's game. Borneo always seemed to be around the ball in the 2nd half.
