One wednesday afternoon result was absolutely shocking to me Georgetown, 4-1-0 ...in the league played Villanova 0-5-0 the 2 teams played to a 3-3 tie this tie against a winless Big East team dropped Georgetown down to #10 in RPI UConn and St. Johns can both tie Georgetown at 4-1-1 if UConn and St. John's can get wins tonight Marquette played at DePaul this afternoon the 2 teams played to a 2-2 tie Marquette now has 8 points as a result of their 2-2-2 record DePaul is now 1-3-2 Go, Zips.....The zips can win the Midwest division with a win tonight in all honesty, they would also win the division with a tie.... as of 5:37 this afternoon, the zips are #32 in RPI The zips need to get the full 3 points tonight. Creighton is #48 in RPI...they are the highest ranked RPI team on Akron's remaining schedule. The zips must get a win tonight......to further improve their RPI.

The zips have won 7 games in a row Akron has the leading goal scorer in the country. Emil has 16 goals. #2 in the country has 13 goals. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/soccer-men/d1 For my money, Mitch Budler has been the best GK in the Big East. He stood on his head repeatedly to help the zips get wins against Georgetown and Xavier. Beto Ydrach and Jonas Buechte , in my somewhat biased opinion, are the best CB duo in the Big East. Akron is playing as a team.....and is playing good soccer. The zips are ranked #18 by Top drawer soccer the zips are ranked #24 by the United Soccer coaches. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ at the beginning of this week, the zips were #37 in RPI. Typically, only the top 40 or top 41 get into the NCAA if they don't win the conference. The zips must get wins at home on Wednesday night and on the road at Marquette. A loss to either would be absolutely devastating for RPI and would almost ensure that they would have to win the Big East Tournament in Boyds, MD. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/ncaa-mens-soccer-rpi This is an absolutely monster game for the zips. The weather is supposed to be perfect. 75 degrees during the day...62 degrees at 7 pm ...57 degrees at 9 pm I sure hope that the SID and the marketing department are posting signs all over campus....trying to get students to attend the game. The guardians season is over. I hope that the crowd on Wednesday night.....will be good. Sadly, I must ask......our attendance experts...... and @zippy-claws, and @fknbuflobo over or under 1,000 ???? go, Zips !!!

Georgetown right now is getting tremendous national respect If the NCAA tournament draw was done today, Georgetown would be the #3 overall seed Ohio State would be the #1 overall seed https://www.ncaa.com/news/soccer-men/article/2024-10-20/division-i-mens-soccer-committee-reveals-top-16

I am too bummed by the Guardians losing to the New York Money bags... so, I won't type out standings I will just attach a link to standings after tonight UConn defeated Butler tonight 1-0 Marquette went to Xavier tonight and the 2 teams played to 0-0 tie with 3 games left to play, (maximum of 9 points can be earned) the zips have 15 points they have 8 point lead over Creighton 2-2-1......7 points Marquette 2-2-1 ....7 points Akron plays those 2 teams in their next 2 Big East matchups Creighton plays Marquette in the last Big East game of the year https://www.bigeast.com/standings.aspx?path=msoc Wednesday night Oct. 23 matchups Marquette at DePaul 3 pm Georgetown at Villanova 3 pm St. Johns at Seton Hall 7 pm Xavier at Butler 7 pm Providence at UConn 7 pm Creighton at Akron 7 pm Looking at RPI....Sunday morning at 12:05 am Georgetown is #3 in RPI Akron is at #35 in RPI strength of schedule is 85 opponent strength of schedule is 8 Providence is only other Big East team in top 50 Friars are #38

Creighton dominated Villanova this afternoon Creighton led 8-2 in shots on goal game was 2-0 at half time and was 3-1 final score Creighton is now 2-2-1 in the league Villanova drops to 0-5 in the league Creighton has now won 2 straight big East games. Last Saturday night, Creighton defeated a good Xavier team 1-0. Zips will have to play well Wednesday night at home against Creighton. and yes, the Zips need to be looking for revenge for last year's loss to the Blue Jays.

Emil has to be a top 3 candidate for Hermann Trophy He is exceptional great skills but he also is one of the hardest workers great plAyer he is also very unselfish he made a great long pass on first goal today

Emil was so clinical on his first goal great pass by WKWK On Emil 2nd goal, he intercepted lazy pass And easily and skillfully beat defender

Georgetown really looks like the class of the Big East Division the Hoyas knocked off Seton Hall today 2-0 this afternoon led 17-2 in shots, 8 to 1 in shots on goal https://guhoyas.com/sports/mens-soccer/stats/2024/seton-hall/boxscore/20683 St. Johns and Providence played to 1-1 tie G' town is 4-1-0 st. johns is 3-1-1 providence is 2-1-2 Seton Hall dropped to 2-2-1

Zips were very dominant in first half. announcers are praising Beto Ydrach I agree strongly with the announcers

Malik did super on goal Left footed shot Into very, very narrow opening of goal

Akron goal victor Gaulmin

Thanks for your great suggestion I pay for all of the regional sports networks on DirectV I am now watching game on channel 664 on my regular Tv thank you

I am glad you can see

so, they have their own network????? so, zips fans have to pay $19.99 to watch one match the big east is a total cluster f*ck......for watching soccer... what an absolute disgrace

Congratulations again to Emil for another well deserved honor Dyson Clapier is #18 on TDS mid season top 100 list Malik Henry is #99 on TDS mid season top 100 list in my slightly biased view, Mitch Budler and Beto Ydrach are both deserving of a spot on the top 100 list. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college/upperclassmentop100/index.jsp

After last Tuesday night's win, the zips were #34 in RPI strength of schedule for the zips was #44 Playing Villanova (1-7-4 record).....really hurt the Zips in RPI (Villanova is currently #184 in RPI) as of 3 pm....on Sunday October 13, the Zips are #47 in RPI strength of schedule for the Zips dropped all the way to #94 opponent strength of schedule for the zips .....is #16 other Big East teams in the top 50 Georgetown 6 Providence 22 Seton Hall 45 RPI for remaining teams on Zips schedule DePaul 92 Creighton 56 Marquette 85 UConn 68 The zips are playing well now. However, the early season losses to Temple (#160 in RPI) and IU-Indy (#133) are hurting the zips in RPI.
