soccer coaches have not given the zips much respect this year... In this week's poll, the zips finally move into the top 16 they jump from 19 to 15 https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

Clemson .6057 14. Akron .6021 strength of schedule (SOS) for Akron was 53 Opponent SOS was 48 15. Penn .6006 16.

Congratulations to zips recruit Ryan Kopay selected to Pennsylvanie All state soccer team

Ryan Kopay looks impressive in the video clip on the left side.

early in the afternoon, the zips were #14 in RPI Penn was ahead of Akron in RPI Penn lost 3-2 this afternoon to Harvard and dropped below the zips before tonight's game, the zips were #13 in RPI .6131 strength of schedule (SOS) 16 Opponent SOS 44 after the win, the zips move up to #12 in RPI .6133 SOS 19 Opponent SOS 46

zips played god awful soccer for 65 minutes. At 65 minutes, they started attacking and playing zips soccer. the first goal was due to tremendous hustle by Ashton Kamdem...followed by a great pass to Shooky For the first 15 ro 20 minutes of the 2nd half, I do not think that the zips had a shot. This would have been an awful loss to lose to a 162 RPI team. Credit to the players for digging deep.....and finding solutions in the last 25 minutes somewhat related....Western Michigan struggled mightily to defeat Chicago State 2-1 on the road Chicago scored 6 minutes and had the lead for almost 39 minutes WMU scored at 44:56 Chicago got red card at 76. WMU scored at 84 to get 2-1 win. Nothing comes easy in soccer.....

Northern Illinois scored on a long distance golazo. NIU had another golazo go off the cross bar Dobrijevic had a nice shot that the keeper had to knock over the cross bar. Zips need to do much better in the 2nd half to get their passes into the box.

looks like it will cost $6.95 for a 24 hour pass...to watch the video stream

Zips come into this game #14 in RPI (ratings as of 2:20 eastern time on Oct 29) .6136 Strength of schedule (SOS) 15 Opponent SOS 43 Tonight's Opponent....NIU is 162 in RPI Chicago State (November 2 opponent) is 203 in RPI (212 teams in RPI) final regular season opponent....Western Michigan ....is #41 in RPI

way too early....to start thinking about that.... Zips need to focus on their next game.... Northern Illinois field is a cow pasture....with very high winds all of the time... Northern played 11 men back at home against a good Western Michigan team and got a 0-0 result. Northern Illinois will play 11 men back and try to use the high winds to their advantage one game at a time for the zips
