http://www.nscaa.com/web/Rankings/College_Rankings/NCAA_DI_MEN/web/Rankings/NCAA/DI_MEN.aspx zips dropped from #10 to #16.... the rankings do not include last night's win over Santa Barbara zip opponents in the rankings are :UCLA at #7 ; San Diego State at #11 ; Cal-Santa Barbara at #13 ; Buffalo receiving votes at #26 when they did the pre-season rankings, there were a lot more teams in the rankings..Georgetown at 10 ; SMU at 12 ; Cal-Santa Barbara at 13 ;Seattle at 14 ; UCLA at 16 ; Ohio State at 18 ; Tulsa at 27 ; VCU at 34 Hopefully, Georgetown, SMU, Seattle and other teams will rebound and help the zips down the road in the RPI

I am very happy for the coaches and the players. They showed a great deal of character after getting steamrolled at UCLA. Great defensive effort in both of the last 2 games against two high scoring forwards...Timmy Mueller and Dupuy from UCSB. I have to give coach Embick a lot of credit for sitting an All MAC performer in Sam Gainford for most of the last 2 games and giving Skye Harter an opportunity. The redshirt freshman made his coach look very smart. Last year, the team really took off when Coach Embick moved Andrew Souders to an outside DB spot and inserted Danilo as one of the center backs. At the beginning of last year, no one expected Danilo to be a key contributor. Last night, Brad moved to an outside back position and Shane Wiedt joined Danilo as a center back. I hope that change works as well as last year's change. Coach Embick, Coach Leo and the other coaches have the courage and the knowledge to make needed changes. I can not say enough good things about Jonathan Lewis. His effort level is absolutely outstanding and he is going to get better as the year goes along. Nick Hinds has a tremendous amount of skill and he is also quite tenacious. Very happy that these 2 young men from Plantation,FL are playing soccer for the Zips.

nice goal by AN10

as always, youtube has a 30 second ad at the start video does show Skye's two goals... Most of Jared and Skye's quotes were in the beacon article

Early on in the season, the zips are not getting much help down the road for RPI. Ohio State and Georgetown and VCU all started their seasons 0-4. Penn State and SMU also seem to be having seasons below their expectations. There are still many undefeated MAC teams but Buffalo and BGSU are not playing tough schedules. St. Mary's, CA had tied Stanford earlier in the year so Western Michigan's 2-0 win over St.Mary's CA is a quality win for a MAC team.

#1 North Carolina went to Clemson and defeated #5 Clemson 1-0 #4 Indiana hosted #2 Maryland 1-1 result VCU dropped to 0-4 as they lost 4-2 to Radford (4-0-0) Buffalo moved to 5-0-0 with a 4-0 win over winless VMI Michigan State 4 Rutgers 0 Michigan dropped to 0-2-3 as they lost 2-1 in 2 OT’s to Wisconsin West Virginia 1 E.

are any of the out of town fans watching the video. I was able to see video last year. This year, on my laptop...I am getting the message...no compatible source for this video. I can get video on my i-phone in the 2nd half. In the first half, did the commentators comment on Sam Gainford and Victor souto's absence? from the stats, it looks like Jon Lewis was really active. Happy to see the young man from Copley get 2 goals. Great job, Skye and the zips

http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-di-preview:-start-of-conference-play_aid39996 national media is already piling on the zips.....The comments in this article honked me off I don't know Timmy Mueller.....but he is no Abu Danladi.....and oregon State does not have a Jackson Yuelll on their team..... Mark it down, the zips will have a bounce back performance on Friday night Brad and Danilo will be fine......

I like this news... Coach Embick said before the season that Stuart would be out for UP TO 6 weeks.... maybe, the zips will catch a break and Stuart will come back sooner than the 6 weeks.. I know that we are looking forward to seeing this hard working young man back on the Cub cadet field

Jesse Garcia, a transfer from Akron, has started the last 3 games for Oregon State. Garcia had a goal and assist against Wright State and he also had an assist against San Jose State I shared above...that oregon State knocked off the buckeyes on Monday...sadly (not ) , the buckeyes are 0-4

The beavers are 3-0-1 yesterday, they defeated the other OSU....the Buckeyes 2-1 in 2 overtimes they defeated san jose state 3-0 on Friday Wright State 4-0 on Aug. 28 and they tied DePaul 1-1 on Aug. 26 The Zips did a great job last year shaking off the Old Dominion game. I am confident that this team will do well in front of the home crowd on Friday.

comments from Coach Embick: "When you look at the score you feel like there are no positives," said Akron head coach Jared Embick. "But I do think we can take away some things from this; UCLA is a great team and tonight like all good teams, they were ruthless." "We created many chances, but did not convert them in key moments. If we score, I think it changes the game. Even after halftime, we had a great 10 minute spell and almost scored. When we gave up the third goal we put our head down and they made us pay. We have to regroup, there is a lot of soccer left. We need to come back to our fans and get two wins against a pair of undefeated teams."

no Deandre in tuesday's night qualifier http://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2016/9/3/12789116/besler-yedlin-leave-usmnt-camp-bradley-orozco-set-to-join

The field did indeed look small....in person Very strange set up....the soccer field is on top of a two story parking structure. You park in the lot and then walk upstairs to see the game. That being said, San Diego State was much quicker to the ball and had many more good opportunities. The zips will learn from this.

Thanks, the zips will be without Victor and Stuart....so each team is missing star(s)

Did Abu Danladi play against Duke?

San Diego state really took control late in the half

http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2016-17/releases/20160901ph40ns they have some quotes on the zip web site....and you can see the entire article by clicking on the PDF that the Zips SID has attached. Akron soccer is in a very good place right now....with Coach Embick and his staff.

http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-weekend-preview:-sept-2-5_aid39847 not surprisingly, Akron-UCLA is listed as one of the best games this weekend.....and it would be OK with this zip fan if Abu Danladi is not able to return this weekend from his injury. Georgetown vs. Maryland should be an interesting result to see.
