Sunday home opener for the lady Zips is against Eastern Illinois. in last year’s contest , E. Illinois and the zips played to a 1-1 tie. Eastern Illinois opened their season last night with a 4-0 loss to Southern Illinois.

final exhibition game Detroit had a record of 3-10-4 in 2024.

zips now lead 4-0 at 75.... Jack Sullivan scored on a restart for 3rd goal Ignacio Alem earned and took a PK for the 4th goal great to see the team depth...doing super in the 2nd half.

I am not at the game.... I am just getting updates from a super nice person at the game.... Zips lead 2-0 at 65 minutes first goal went to Abdi Bahur...assist to Ignacio Alem 2nd goal went to Remi Agunbiade...assist to Jack Roman to answer your question in more detail on starters Brett Kaminski at GK Pedro and Kamdem -full backs Kossehasse and Reilly - center backs Borneo, Dreas and Morck Filsinger, Roman and Ferguson

yes.....same starters as the first game.... other than Brett Kaminski at GK

0-0 at halftime

Congratulations to former Zip Shaun Docking for an incredible coaching career at Coastal Carolina. Long time Zips soccer fans will remember that Shaun Docking was a junior (key contributor) on the outstanding zip team that lost in the 1986 NCAA final. Great player, great coaches. Best wishes for a happy and successful post coaching career. Darn good ZIP !!! https://www.wmbfnews.com/2025/08/13/i-have-nothing-fondness-great-memories-long-time-ccu-coach-retires/

This post is not about a former zip playing professional soccer now... but Adam is a hard working , smart young man. Adam will do a great job scouting for this professional soccer team. Congratulations and Best wishes to Adam. https://westfaironline.com/fairfield/ct-united-fc-names-director-of-scouting-general-counsel/

A heads up..... I am not on twitter....so I am not likely to see this news first .... last year, the regular soccer season started on Thursday August 22nd last year, the Big East mens soccer coaches poll was released on Monday August 19th. With this years schedule starting on Thursday August 21, I would expect that the Big East mens soccer coaches poll will be released on Monday August 18th. I expect that Georgetown will be the pre season favorite to win the Big East.

Every coach in the MAC voted ...that Akron would finish in last place. https://getsomemaction.com/news/2025/8/11/womens-soccer-western-michigan-selected-as-favorite-in-mac-preseason-coaches-poll.aspx

https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-soccer-preseason-top-25-poll-marshall-takes-top-spot-going-into-week-1/ College soccer news has issued a pre season top 25.... they say that they have coaches voting in their poll. I am going from memory...but I will try to post teams from the zips schedule...that are ranked 2. Vermont 9. Ohio State 11. West Virginia 20. Western Michigan 23. Cornell Akron, of course, could meet #8 Georgetown in Big East tourney. Providence also received votes in the poll (another possibility for conference tourney) I am really surprised that St. Louis is not ranked as they had strong recruiting class.

This article has no rankings...but top drawer soccer (TDS) ...did a Big East preview https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=54910&articleTitle=mens-a10-big-east-ivy-league-preview Big East Akron joining has done wonders for the strength of the Big East, adding another storied team to a conference full of legacy programs. The Zips and Georgetown will likely fight for supremacy, while Providence looks to continue its rise as an elite program. St. John’s and Connecticut, two programs desperate to reach the highs of the late 90s and early 2000s, are among the others to look out for this season. Top Players to Watch: Mitch Budler, Akron(m) (Goalkeeper of the Year) Top Freshmen to Watch: Braxton Hayes, Akron(m) (No. 116 Ranked TDS Class of 2025)

Here is an article from an Toronto FC fan site https://wakingthered.com/2025/08/10/20736/toronto-fc-snatch-draw-in-philadelphia-in-djordje-mihailovic-debut/ I like one of the comments below the article The good news was Henry. He changed the match with three or four impressively good passes, including the assistance. He is very fast and anxious to play.

What an absolutely sensational debut for Malik Henry so very happy for the young man what a great pass

Nice to see Nathan, Ashton and Conor promoting the zips We all know that the Athletic department under Charles the egotist....did nothing to promote soccer. Here's hoping that Dr. Goodrich can have zips marketing department begin to promote the best Zips athletic team on campus... Go Zips MSOC !!!
