On July 4, Top Drawer soccer included Jack Roman on their top 11 team from the ECNL playoffs M Jack Roman, Cleveland Force 06 – After Cleveland lost the group opener against MVLA, the team rallied with back-to-back wins to capture first place.

this article was included today in the University of Akron Business School newsletter... 3.76 GPA....very impressive achievement by Adam Najem https://www.uakron.edu/im/news/soccer-player-adam-najem-achieves-goal-of-professional-career-and-ua-degree?bbeml=tp-UMe-qg1RCU-VaHO2Nu8s5A.jc_YR_ODVZEubG0aKPF2PhQ.rMmPadoRJLk2MO1FsYlmiEg.lch0oziArrEun35RV7EIjZA

Richie Laryea.....got absolutely hosed....as he was not selected to the MLS All Star team Richie Laryea deserves to be on the MLS All Star team 5 times this year, Richie has been selected to the MLS team of the week Richie is one of the best 25 soccer players in MLS https://www.mlssoccer.com/all-star/2023/news/2023-mls-all-star-team-roster

@Zip_ME87 thank you for the clarification. Boyds, Maryland makes much more sense. It is outside Washington DC (where Georgetown in located), Glen Arm, Maryland is 1 hour and 28 minutes away from Boyds, MD. Glen Arm is located outside Baltimore (which is not a Big East location). The Semis and finals will be at the Maryland Soccer Plex in Boyds, Maryland. There is a Maryland SportsPlex in Glen Arm, MD.....but it is not a soccer facility. Hopefully, they will soon correct the schedule for the Xavier mistake and correct the city for the Big East Tourney.

I was not familiar with where the Big East semis and finals will be played. Sounds like a nice field....Capacity of 5,000 fans https://mdsoccerplex.org/maryland-soccerplex/championship-stadium/

Richie should be an MLS all star this year.....and should play against some team named Arsenal in Washington DC. If I was an Arsenal fan, I would sure want to See Richie play in person against Arsenal. Hmm...do we know any Arsenal fans?

Richie had an assist in last night's game https://www.torontofc.ca/news/toronto-fc-1-cf-montreal-2-2023-canadian-championship-match-recap

really good find, Fknbuflobo...... we are going to have to start calling you.....the recruit finder Kamden is mentioned in this attached article (and yes, I am looking forward to Kamden Held and Ashton Kamden being a dynamic duo for the zips) https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=26&articleId=51827&articleTitle=boys-club-standouts:-february-25-27 Michigan Jaguars 06 MLS NEXT – Oscar Huerta scored twice, helping the Jaguars best Chicago Fire by a 3-2 score. Braeden Backus had two assists, while Gavin McBride scored one and setup the other. Kamden Held, Chicago Fire 06 MLS NEXT – A pair of goals from Held served as consolation in the matchup against the Jaguars.

10 years in the pros. Aodhan has consistently been one of the top players in the USL.

top drawer soccer shows that they have two 2023 recruits https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer/college-soccer-details/women/akron/clgid-128/tab-commitments#sectionblock

Congratulations to Joshua Bartels and Caleb Borneo for leading the Crew 05 MLS Next team to a commanding win this past weekend Columbus Crew 05/04 MLS NEXT – It was a big day offensively for the Crew’s oldest age group, winning 8-0. Akron commit Joshua Bartels bagged four goals. Brent Adu-Gyamfi, Caleb Borneo and James Lear rounded out the goals.

I know that some great zip soccer fans drove to the "Burgh" to support the zips. I know that these super fans will give us a report. last Saturday, the Riverhounds mauled Penn State 3-0. The Riverhounds were one of the 3-4 clubs in the USL last year. Holding them scoreless is very impressive.

In the Rapids 2 exhibition yesterday, it looks like 2023 zip recruit Joshua Hardin was on the field at the same time as new 2024 recruit Cain Castellon It looks like former zip Dillon Serna is now playing for the Colorado Rapids 2. Dillon, please feel free to send more talented young rapids 2 players to the zips !!!

new 2024 recruit Cain Castellon led Colorado Rapids 2 in shots yesterday in a scrimmage against NE Revolution 2 https://www.coloradorapids.com/rapids2/news/rapids-2-draws-0-0-with-new-england-revolution-2-in-first-scrimmage-of-preseason Cain Castellon was the first to get a shot off in the 51st minute after finding some space at the top of the box. The 17-year-old midfielder kept pressing on, finding another scoring opportunity in the 67th minute off a cross field punt from the team’s additional trialist goalkeeper.
