I sure hope that Reinaldo and Aodhan can both get healthy before the MAC tourney. without both of them, Seremba's season ending injury is even more traumatic Zips XI vs. NIU: Pina (GK), Portillos, Souders, Cross, Gallego, Souto, Najem, Foldesy, Derschang, Stevenson, Abdul-Salaam.

when you look at the list of seniors, Jared Embick is going to need to have an incredible recruiting class this year Men's Soccer, ranked No. 18 nationally this week, plays Northern Illinois on Saturday night at 7 at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field. It will be "Senior Night" and we will salute the class of Reinaldo Brenes, Robbie Derschang, Zac Portillos, Aodhan Quinn and Eric Stevenson during pregame.

comments from MSU website: "Akron is a very good team and they are even better at home," said head coach Damon Rensing. "I thought we showed a lot of good character tonight. We did some very good things and certainly created some chances. Certainly, they created quite a bit of chances. I think any time you go into that tough an environment and play, not give up any goals, create some chances and can potentially win the game, I think you did alright. The work rate of the whole team was special tonight. They dug in and defended, they ran forward on the break when we had chances to get forward, we pushed numbers forward. The guys put a great effort in tonight. We went in there with the attitude to win the game. We unfortunately didn't get the goal, but a tie on the road against a very good Akron team isn't the worst thing."

The short corner kicks last night were totally ineffective

Cincinnati improved to 6-9-1 tonight with a 2-0 win over #6 Louisville Georgia State improved to 6-7-1 with a 2-0 win over #11 Furman tonight #16 Marquette and St. Johns played to 0-0 tie

Andrew Souders was spectacular tonight. He has improved so much. This team desperately needs Reinaldo Brenes to stay healthy

I think Michigan State is #12 in the RPI....so a zip win on Wednesday would make move in the right direction for RPI

the records are all screwed up in the rankings. North Carolina is 5-2-5 and NC shows as 10-4 Northwestern is listed having NC's record (5-2-5) Akron is 9-3-0 and they are listed as 8-3-3

they will lose by more than one goal if they play like they did at Buffalo

looks like Penn State is the best team left on akron's schedule Penn State def. Mich. State 2-1 today in overtime... Michigan State is still a very good team...Akron will need a wake forest type effort on Wed. night John Bloem at Ohio State might be trying to save his job...last week, OSU tied mich. state 1-1 and today, they tied a ranked Northwestern team 0-0 Michigan had a good win today 2-1 over Wisconsin

Wake led 4-1 at half....and held on for 4-3 win

Western Michigan moves to 2-0 in the MAC with a 1-0 win at Hartwick Western Michigan's other league win was 4-0 at home against Buffalo If Akron can win against N. Illinois and Western Michigan, zips will host the MAC conference tourney

Salaam consistently showed energy all night man, is this team hard to watch

#2 Notre Dame is now 7-0-5 after playing to a 1-1 tie tonight against Northwestern

Louisville 3 Indiana 0 final Indiana falls to 4-8-1...will they miss the big dance? Michigan holds on for a quality 1-0 win over Creighton St. Johns 2 Princeton 0

Buffalo moves to 2-8-3 with a 2-1 win over Hartwick (Hartwick's first loss in the MAC) Furman defeated Clemson 2-1...Furman is now 9-1-2 with their only loss to Akron... Furman's win will also help Akron in the RPI Michigan leads Creighton 1-0 with 5.5 minutes to go Notre Dame and Northwestern 1-1 after 90 minutes

Penn State is going to be another must win. The Nittanys are #15 in the RPI while Wake Forest is #22 Michigan State was hurt badly yesterday by their 1-1 tie against Ohio State

Hartwick defeated West Virginia tonight 1-0 to move to 2-0 in the league. Akron will need to stay perfect the rest of the way in the MAC and Hartwick will have 1 loss and 1 tie for Akron to host the league tourney

The NCAA selection committee is really going to have a hard time this year seeding the top 16 teams this year as there does not appear to be one or two dominant teams this year. the soccer coaches have Notre Dame ranked #2 this week. Right now, Notre Dame has only won 60% of their games. Notre Dame is 6-0-4 in their 10 games. The soccer coaches have North Carolina ranked #12 this week. Right now, North Carolina has only won 25% of their games. North Carolina right now has a record of 3-2-5.

Akron is no longer the top ranked team in the state of Ohio. the home games later this month against Wake Forest and Michigan State are going to be huge NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men's - National - Poll 6 - October 8, 2013 Rank School 1st Votes Total Points Prev.
