Top Drawer is showing that the lady zips have a new recruit signing for 2025 https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/devyn-raymond/pid-167002 From the little research that I have done, it looks like she is from Shelby Township, Michigan. also plays high school basketball listed as 5'9 155 https://www.hudl.com/profile/17146173/devyn-raymond

thought that this might interest a few people.... https://www.soccerwire.com/news/substitution-rule-changes-approved-for-ncaa-division-i-mens-soccer/

BEst wishes to former zip Dillon Serna....as he has announced his retirement from pro soccer He was always a very smart and crafty player. He would make a good coach. https://burgundywave.com/2024/04/14/dillon-serna-retirement-loffelsend-contract/

I thought that Matt Dreas had an outstanding game. I hope to see more of him at the holding midfielder position.

broadcast is absolute crap.... picture is very choppy and is not following the ball

game is linked to championship game and not the 3rd place game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbRuePO00T8

Dayton gets a late goal....and Akron play to 3-3 draw Michigan State wins the North with 10 points Akron is 2nd with 6 points BGSU and Dayton tie for 3rd with 5 points...I think that BGSU won PK shootout) Zips will play Louisville on the 13th at historic Crew Stadium at 5 pm Marshall vs. MSU will start at 7:30 pm APRIL 13, 2024 FINAL GAMES (Historic Crew Stadium - Columbus, Ohio) 9th-Place Game -- 9:30 am #5 South v #5 North Butler v Michigan 7th-Place Game -- 12:00 pm #4 South v #4 North Xavier vs. Dayton 5th-Place Game -- 2:30 pm #3 South v #3 North Ohio State vs. Bowling Green 3rd-Place Game -- 5:00 pm #2 South v #2 North Louisville vs. Akron Championship -- 7:30 pm #1 South v #1 North Marshall vs. Michigan State

In the college spring league south...Lousiville finishes 2nd with 6 points....Ohio State finishes 3rd..with 5 points with a win or a tie today...Akron would play Louisville in the 2nd place game next weekend with 30 minutes left in the game, Akron leads Dayton 3-2....(was 2-1 at halftime)

I am not at the game...but just got a very early report from today's 5 pm game..... after 15 minutes, the zips lead 1-0 ...on a beautiful long ball....to Stefan....and Stefan put it in the goal. well done, Zips !!!!.....keep it going !!!

Michigan State will play Marshall in the title game next Saturday in Columbus. With a win or tie today against Dayton, the Zips will finish 2nd in the league..... again, I only want to see the zips make some progress on offense.... 1 goal from the run of play in the previous games......looks too much like the last half of last year.

Player ratings for the last MLS game played by FC Cincinnati RWB – DEANDRE YEDLIN – 9 (MAN OF THE MATCH) Yedlin is my man of the match. His play high up the pitch and creativity brought tons of stress on the Charlotte defenders to cover space was promising. It is really hard to believe Yedlin has only been with the squad for just over three weeks. The way he can read his teammates’ movements and anticipate what runs to make is a credit to his soccer IQ. The back-heel assist to spring Aaron Boupendza’s game-tying goal was a thing of beauty. Yedlin read what Sergio Santos was doing and drew the eyes of the entire Charlotte backline, giving Boupenza a wide-open net. https://cincinnatisoccertalk.com/2024/04/04/players-ratings-fc-cincinnati-1-charlotte-fc-1/

the winner of the North.....will play Marshall in Columbus on April 13 for first place in the league with a win or a tie against BGSU, Michigan State would be the team to battle an excellent Marshall team Zips can guarantee finishing no lower than 2nd......with a win over Dayton. Ohio State hosts Xavier this weekend...with a win , Ohio State would finish 2nd in the south Louisville has already played all of their 4 matches so they will end with 6 points Marshall plays Butler in the other match this weekend

Akron hosts Dayton next week BGSU hosts Michigan State those are the last 2 matches in regular part of College spring league North If Michigan State wins at BG, Michigan State wins the north division with 10 points If Michigan State ties BG, Michigan State wins the North Division with 8 points Akron could also reach 8 points with a win at home. However, Michigan State wins the tiebreaker against Akron because MSU won the PK shootout after the 2 teams tied Is there any way that Akron can win the college spring league North? answer is yes Akron beats Dayton at home BG beats Michigan State at home both finish with 8 points and MSU ends with 7 points Akron wins the tiebreaker against BG.....because Akron won the PK shootout after the two teams finish tied if both games next week finish in a tie 1. MSU 8 2. Akron 6 3. BG 6 (loses TB) 4. Dayton 5 If Akron ties and BG beats Michigan State 1. BG 8 2. MSU 7 3. Akron 6 4. Dayton 5 if Akron loses and BG and MSU tie 1. MSU 8 2. Dayton 7 3. BG 6 4. Akron 5 even after laying out the scenarios, I can not root for BG and their thuggish style of soccer..... What matters to me......is that the zips need to get their offense going and establish some positive momentum.....headed into the fall As NYC Zip pointed out, the soccer zips have scored 1 goal from the run of play in 3 spring games..... I only care about results in the fall........what I want to see in the game against Dayton....and the game in Columbus.......is to get the offense humming....assists from Caleb Borneo, Maximus Barboto...and goals by Dyson and Malik and Stefan....... I hope that the soccer faithful that live in NE Ohio....see some forward passes and some goals next weekend

Michigan State is now in the lead in the North division of the College spring league see their tweet below Michigan finishes the spring lead with 0 wins and 4 losses Michigan State is now 2-0-1 and has 7 points Akron is 1-0-2 and has 5 points If BG beats Dayton tomorrow, BG will have 7 points after 3 games Michigan State and BG play next week If Dayton beat BG tomorrow, Dayton will have 6 points after 3 games

Credit to the Bowling Green web site......for informing their fan base......about spring soccer.... Akron soccer SID......appears to be in hibernation.

zips and bowling green played to a 0-0 result in 90 minutes Zips 1-0-2 ...after 3 games ...5 points BG 1-0-1 after 2 games....4 points Michigan State.....1-0-1 after 2 games......4 points Michigan State hosts Michigan tomorrow....they can surge to 7 points....with a win at home over 0-2-0 Michigan

I was sad to read that Richie Laryea needed to have surgery. He will be out for 3 months Zips Nation is pulling for you, Richmond Laryea. https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/toronto-fc-s-richie-laryea-out-long-term-with-hamstring-injury

I think that Michigan State defeated Dayton 3-2 yesterday in the spring league Bowling Green had defeated Michigan a few weeks ago I think that BG is 1-0-0 and has 3 points MSU is 1-0-1 and has 4 points...won PK shootout against Zips so they win tiebreaker if zips and spartans tie Akron is 1-0-1 and has 4 points Dayton is 0-1-0 and has no points... Michigan is 0-2-0 and has no points I believe that this week's games are Dayton hosting Michigan on March 23 at 3 pm and the zips playing at BG on March 22 Dayton hosts BG on March 30 Michigan and Michigan State must also play that weekend....game is at Michigan State In the final weekend...Akron hosts Dayton on April 6 BG will host Michigan State on April 6

Congratulations to Stefan Dobrijevic and the soccer zips

Top drawer soccer is showing that the zips have a new commit for fall 2024 a GK from LAFC I found this instagram post https://www.instagram.com/p/C4OHuy2rqTb/?img_index=1

I think that Stefan is going to have a big year in 2024. I think that Stefan also had an assist in the first game. Malik Henry had 1 goal and 2 assists in the first game. first college league spring game this saturday Michigan State at Akron at 5 pm.... Go, Zips !!!
