I don't smell a conspiracy. I think that the inconsistencies and inaccurate reporting ....are due to the men's soccer SID.....doing the bare minimum. I agree with Fknbuflobo and NYCZip......that the assist almost certainly came from Barboto. That young man has great field vision and needs to be seeing more playing time.

can @fknbuflobo tell us if the Guardians are going to win this afternoon?

Emil is OUTSTANDING !!!

beautiful goal by Caleb Borneo

Great pass by WKWK great finish by Dice.....

Who had the assist on the Dobrijevic goal? The zip player had great vision....and perfectly threaded the pass thru many Wright State players. Really happy to see Caleb Borneo get a goal. Very unselfish pass by Dyson......on the goal by Daniel Firek.

Guardians are not playing today....I will take the over

Wright State comes into Tuesday Night's match with a winning record....5-4-2 their season history below 3-2 loss to Bowling Green 4-1 win over Lindenwood 3-1 win over St. Francis 4-2 loss at Loyola Chicago 4-1 loss at DePaul 2-0 win at home over IU-Indy 2-2 tie at home with Eastern Illinois 3-3 tie at Milwaukee 3-2 win at Butler.....that is an impressive result for the raiders...as we all know that the zips had to really battle at home against Butler 4-0 win at home against Purdue Fort Wayne 2-1 loss at home against Green Bay Despite their winning record......Wright State is currently 116 in RPI....as of Monday morning since I looked at the RPI.....to see where Wright State is....let me list Akron then I will show big east teams in the top 50 and zips opponents in the top 51 Akron is currently 40 in RPI Big east teams are well represented in the top 20 Georgetown is at 7 Providence is at 11 Seton Hall is at 14 Xavier checks in at 17 In terms of teams that the zips have already played Ohio State has an 8-0-2 record and they are #2 in RPI VCU checks in at #17 Western Michigan has not lost this year...they are 7-0-5 and they check in at #24 Notre Dame is #51

Embick calling out "the freshman left back substitute" in his Temple post game comments....was very unprofessional. It showed very poor judgement by Embick. Other players (some of them an early season co-captain) gave up goals in several games earlier in the year and they were not targeted by Embick in the post match comments. One former zip player (time frame before 2000) called Embick's Temple press conference comments "reprehensible." Being a freshman athlete is very hard. Trying to balance schoolwork and athletics. Being away from home for a significant amount of time. Criticism of a freshman athlete should be done in the privacy of a locker room. It should not be done publicly when the coach is frustrated by poor results. James Buebendorf was a highly ranked recruit and I very much want him to succeed at the University of Akron.

I have not listened to this yet drove up for the Friday night zips soccer and then went to Guardians game 1 playoffs then started the long drive home

Top Drawer soccer has highlighted the game as one of 5 to watch https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=53868&articleTitle=five-mens-di-games-to-watch-this-weekend Akron (4-3-3) vs. Xavier (4-2-4) - Friday, October 4th, 7 PM Eastern, FloSports Two teams plagued by inconsistencies, both Akron and Xavier have enjoyed wins against nationally ranked opponents, only to lose the next game to a much weaker opponent. Regardless, both are enjoying a minor unbeaten run and meet for a match that will shake up the Big East standings.

sadly, Dar Nag was born in Liberia. I do agree that he would be light years better than our candidates in the past 10 years

Another well deserved honor for Mitch https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-team-of-the-week:-september-30_aid53857 Top Drawer Soccer Men’s Team of the Week: September 23-29 GK Mitch Budler, Akron - The redshirt junior was unbeatable this week with eight saves and two shutouts across matches with Saint Francis and Georgetown.

Congratulations to Emil. He is the best #9 that Akron has had in the past 10 to 15 years. Great scorer, very unselfish passer.

Well deserved !!!!

Gary Miller was a minor league president. He hired a minor league guy as his athletic director. Charles Guthrie is in way over his head.

RPI rankings for some Big East teams....as of Sunday morning 9/29 Providence 6 Georgetown 17 Seton Hall 38 Xavier 41 Akron 48 Marquette 52

writeup from the Georgetown men's soccer site https://guhoyas.com/news/2024/9/28/mens-soccer-hoyas-fall-to-zips.aspx Head Coach Brian Wiese "Credit to Akron, they're a good team and they started off strong. But that's the main disappointment for the day because for the next 70 minutes I thought we were very good. Their goalie had not just eight saves, but eight great saves, so at the end of the day, the main complaint is the start of the match and the inability just to push one past them. Now we need to move on quickly to Providence. They're one of the top teams in the conference and we need to be a little more lethal in front of the net if we can."

I would be remiss if I also did not talk about Beto Ydrach. He is an absolute warrior. Georgetown really concentrated their attack ....using their left winger to attack the zips right back..... Beto was constantly in the right place.....and he battled all game against Georgetown's big, talented front line.
