16-3 in shots 9-2 in corners 5 -2 in shots on goal very happy to see Ezana, the 5th year senior get the 2nd goal

I am still at work and can't watch how did the quick goal happen?

at 72:52 in the first semi, #3 seed Western Michigan leads 2nd seed Bowling Green 2-0 for RPI purposes....that would be a good result to get BGSU out of the tourney as their RPI is 120-ish

zips will have to shut down this mountaineer https://www.dominionpost.com/2018/11/08/west-virginia-midfielder-joey-piatczyc-takes-mac-player-of-the-year/

https://wvusports.com/news/2018/11/8/mens-soccer-wvu-hosts-mac-championship-friday-vs-akron.aspx With the men's basketball team playing at 9 p.m. Friday night, parking will be extremely limited in the parking lots around the WVU Coliseum Complex on Friday. Fans who arrive to park for the men's soccer MAC semifinals in the Natatorium/Band lot before 6 p.m. can park free of charge. Fans who arrive after 6 p.m. to park in the Natatorium/Band lot will be charged $10 for parking to attend either the soccer match or the basketball game.

happy photo from this past tuesday night

if the zips can win the mac, they should move into the mid to high 20's for RPI...and get to host a round of 64 game one game at a time though.... they have to play for 90 minutes and get past West Virginia on Friday night

Gaucho Dan Rpi showing the zips at 33 after tonights win

No, he is in now....at 71 minutes 3 games in 6 days is rough.... the zips have a lot of good depth at forward with marcel, Ezana,Diogo and David Egbo.... Hopefully, David will be rested and ready to score against the top seed on Friday

what an honor for Aodhan Quinn he is one of 4 nominees for USL MVP https://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/962221

https://wmubroncos.com/news/2018/11/4/mens-soccer-to-host-mac-tournament-quarterfinal-versus-niu.aspx I know that the 4 pm start time tomorrow is not popular. Western Michigan is playing their tournament game at 2;30 tomorrow. Did the MAC conference set the starting time so that the players would have roughly 72 hours rest before the semis on Friday? I do not know. If the times were set by the MAC conference, the Akron athletic department needs to communicate that face to their fan base. I suspect that the 4 pm start is due to the div. 2 basketball game at 7 pm as the athletic director claims that they do not have enough staff to cover events at the same time.

Very happy that so many former Zips have found the right home for them Thanks for sharing the news

many quotes from DNag in this article best wishes to Darlington and Wil in the MLS playoffs https://www.prosoccerusa.com/mls/atlanta-united-fc/atlanta-united-ready-for-second-season-hopeful-for-almirons-return/

To my knowledge, the Beacon had covered every other home game this year. Admittedly, they used a stringer named Brad Bournival to cover the previous games. Last night, they assigned Brad Bournival to cover the Medina-Stow high school soccer game. Marla Ridenour did an outstanding job of covering the soccer zips when they went to the final four in 2015. The beacon editors have now assigned her to different coverage. Ms. Ridenour was always passionate about the soccer zips and her coverage is missed. Malonepioneer suggested that everyone needs to write a complaint letter to the AD about the MAC tournament game starting during normal working hours. That is good advice. I have chosen to write to 3 beacon sports reporters letting them know that the cancelled game was a black eye to the elite sports program on campus and that explanations are needed from Larry Williams and also from Ohio Edison. If it had been Infocision stadium, the power outage would have been fixed in less than 6 hours.

The problems at Akron start at the top. How much longer will there be an interim acting president? There are so many financial problems at UA that Larry Williams is probably not very high up on the list of things that interim president John Green (and yes, I had to google his name) is concerned about. I agree wholeheartedly that Williams's job should be in serious jeopardy. He pulled this 4 pm crap starting time 2 years ago for an NCAA first round game. Leaving $1 million on the table and bringing the team home from Nebraska is inexcusable. Williams has spent a lot of his work career being a lawyer and working in licensing/marketing. Anthony Henderson only has 8 years working in college athletics and his time before Akron was not at a major college. George Van Horne bleeds blue and gold. He is very passionate about Akron but he only knows the Akron way. Raising money and working in licensing and marketing does not qualify you to run a big time athletic department. Akron continues to make the same mistakes time after time as the athletic department team only knows the Akron way. This athletic department needs someone that has risen thru the ranks at least 2 power 5 conference schools. Larry goes to Henderson and George for advice and he always gets the "Akron way" solution. These elite soccer athletes and one of the best 5 college soccer head coaches deserve much better treatment from their university and its athletic department. Morgan Hackworth has improved so much during his time at Akron. Morgan and the other seniors deserved a chance to walk out on the field with their parents and loved ones last night. The 6 young men will never have another Senior night.

Whoever is in charge of Akron's Sports information department.....should also be on the hot seat. season ticket holders were tweeting zipsmsoc begging for updates Was the akron soccer SID at the JAR watching akron volleyball? twitter is a great tool for providing updates every 5-10 minutes in unusual situations.... the sports information department was woeful last night

no article in the Beacon sports pages this morning about Akron not being able to play a huge conference game Larry Williams does need to write an explanatory statement to every season ticket holder. A major athletic dept should also be able to staff a basketball game against Cedarville at 7 and also have staff available for a tournament soccer game at 7 scheduling the soccer game at 4 is a disgrace to the working fans that support the soccer program First Energy(Ohio Edison) also has major egg on their face
