the numbers

Very lucky not to be down 2-0. good leg save by Tor and fantastic kick save by Daniel Strachan the corners and shots tell an accurate story Jaden Wright came in for Ergbo and Jaden was active.

Looks like Pacheco might have picked up an injury in the past 3 days Not in the starting lineup

Time for the zips to get in the win column Pitt is a deceptive 1-3-1 They started their season with a game against high powered Indiana Indiana won 3-2 in 2 OT's scoring 2 goals against defense minded Indiana is very impressive 2 days later, Pitt was flat and lost 1-0 to Northwestern Pitt then beat Liberty 3-0 3-3 tie with Delaware 2-0 loss to Mighty Wake Forest Pitt can put some goals on the board. Zips need to get the ball in the back of the net I am not sure if the ACC network is available in all parts of the country channel 612 on directv Akron at Pitt will be on ACC network 7 to 9 pm....reaired from midnight to 2 am

We did all the little things you have to do to win a game. I thought our defensive pressure was outstanding, but I also thought we were crisper in possession, particularly in the first half. I was very proud of the way our team played today. That Akron team might be the best 0-4 team in the history of college soccer. They'll be a contender as the year progresses." – Sasho Cirovski

Alicea, Niko's sister was accepted into Boise State one week later, she was diagnosed with cancer. 11 days after the diagnosis, her family had to rush her to the hospital. less than 24 hours after being rushed to the hospital, Alicea had passed away. My heart absolutely breaks for the entire De Vera Family. If you are in a position where you can help (every $25 to $50 will help), please help this family of strong faith in their time of great sorrow. https://www.gofundme.com/f/2dz3m-alicea-de-vera

May their tremendous faith and wonderful family memories lift them up and provide comfort during this unbearably difficult time. Zips Nation loves and cares for all of the De Vera family.

In a rematch of the 2018 College Cup finale, the Zips return to action with an 6:30 p.m. match at Maryland on Friday, Sept. 13, in College Park, Md. The contest will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

2-2-1 to start 2017 1-3-1 to start 2018 0-3 to start 2019 3-8-2 record in the first 5 games of the past 2 years and the first 3 games of this year and they play at Maryland next Friday

Final Creighton 2 Akron 1 I will try to say something positive. Federico Serra had some nice passes in the first half.

the tweet is showing Smith (#12) starting.... that of course should be Tom Smart Smart in place of Daniel Strachan Marco Milanese moves from left outside back to left center back go, zips

akron game picked as one of the 5 best this weekend Z.I.P. Maryland at UCLA is on pac-12 network...are you going to watch and give Jared a scouting report on the terps by the way, the article shows Maryland as 1-1. Maryland lost 2-0 on labor day to former ACC foe Virginia also in the article, Michigan State shows as 0-0-2.....one of their draws was against a MAC team....SIU-E and Michigan State played to 0-0 result in season opener https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-weekend-preview:-friday-big-ten-feast_aid46723 No. 12 Akron (0-2) at Creighton (0-1-1), 8:30 p.m. (gocreighton.com) Two winless teams meet in Omaha in a marquee matchup of two teams searching for a first win of the season. The Zips were unable to find a result on the road against Xavier, and then couldn’t solve Andrew Thomas before conceding a late goal at home against the Cardinal on Monday. Finding an option beyond David Egbo is important for success both here and the rest of the season. Injuries have ravaged the Bluejays in their first season under head coach Jonny Torres. That being said, they gave a good account of themselves on a tough ACC road trip, drawing 2-2 against UNC before losing 1-0 to Wake Forest after having a good goal ruled out in the first half when it was 0-0. It’s going to be a tough one for Akron to find a win.
