Monday night Western Michigan 2 Wisconsin 1 Bowling Green and Michigan 0-0 Ohio State 2 Wright State 0 penn State 3 George Mason 1 N. Illinois 3 Milwaukee 2 Pittsburgh 5 Howard 0 Bellarmine 2 Chicago State 1

Playing time must be found for Ashton Kamdem. Even though he is left footed (preference), Ashton also made 2 excellent entry passes into the box….while Ashton was playing out of position as a right back. Ashton has a nose for the goal and his left footed screamer was spectacular. When Malik Henry is 100 percent healthy and 100 percent fit, I want to see Malik Henry playing the full 90 minutes at right defensive back. Malik Henry is spectacular and provides great quality service into the box. Left defensive back is Ashton Kamdem’s natural position. I would like to see Ashton Kamdem starting for the zips at left back.

Spartans come into Monday night game with a 1-2 record. 2-1 season opening win over Army 3-2 loss to Notre Dame 1-0 loss to Western Michigan

Thursday night w. Michigan 1. Michigan state 0 ohio state 1 bowling green 0 detroit 2 Chicago state 1 northern Illinois and Bradley 2-2

DeAndre is Great. In the historical discussion of right backs, Kofi Sarkodie has to be in the conversation. Zip nation will always remember Kofi’s game winning goal against Michigan in the 2010 semis.

In the coaches poll, Akron went from not ranked to #14 in the country I was amazed by Stanford's jump. Not ranked in the preseason poll. #3 now in regular season poll. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/

Portland played at Indiana last night....and came away with a 3-3 tie. It sure looks like Portland got "homered". Portland was called for 29 fouls and was given 7 yellow cards. The home team was called for 3 fouls and 1 yellow card.

early scores from Monday night from NCAA.com #7 Pittsburgh with an impressive 3-0 win over #6 West Virginia. Pitt beat Georgetown in first game. They have been super impressive. Florida International bounced back with a 1-0 win over St. John's at 82:50 , Notre Dame leads Michigan State 3-1 (update - Notre Dame ended up winning 3-2) at 73:48, Cleveland State trails UIC 1-0 (update - nice comeback..Cleveland State ended up winning 2-1)

good student crowd tonight they have not posted the 3rd goal yet... great run and pass by Dyson Clapier Fitz got low to the ground for a spectacular header goal

Dyson Clapier was man of the match

Welcome to Akron, Josh Hallenberger Gyuwon Chong is very good

comments from the VCU coach after their season opener Their writeup says that the Akron-VCU game will be available on Espn Plus https://vcuathletics.com/news/2022/8/25/mens-soccer-rams-drop-season-opener-at-14-marshall-5-0.aspx

John Krysinsky is a well respected Pittsburgh area soccer writer.

Thursday night was not the best night for the other MAC teams. Northern Illinois lost 3-2 to San Francisco. Western Michigan lost 2-0 to Butler. Chicago State was a pleasant surprise as they battled the Northwestern Wildcats to a 3-3 tie. Indiana vs. Clemson is on ESPNU right now (7 to 9 pm eastern)

William Portman took control of the zips instagram stories yesterday. William Portman is a very likable guy. I am very glad that he is an Akron U. Zip. William can play outside back...and he can also sub in at center back. Speaking of center backs, Joel Sangwa is simply outstanding. Rugged defender and he makes great decisions passing the ball. Gyuwon Chong also looks like a great addition.

does their field even have lights? It is so dark.
