Will Lebron be at the game?

Akron and Maryland have had a few common opponents... August 31.....Maryland 0-0 with Stanford Sept. 10 ...Maryland 1 West Virginia 0 October 5....Michigan State 2 Maryland 0 Nov. 4...Maryland 1 Mich. State 0

good to read that the young Marco M. is OK https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/akron-maryland-advance-to-the-championship_aid45605 “In these quick turnarounds, I was trying to manage the game,” Akron head coach Jared Embick said about the deep bench and getting nine players off the bench into the game. Embick added that center back Marco Milanese was fine - the freshman had left the game in the second half after a collision with a Michigan State attacker.

NANCHOFF !!!!

Beacon already has an article up Much credit to the Beacon for Sending Marla Ridenour out to Santa Barbara for the coverage https://www.ohio.com/sports/20181207/university-of-akron-mens-soccer-second-championship-in-school-history-within-uas-grasp-after-zips-rout-michigan-state-5-1-at-college-cup

Getting some rest for David Egbo, Skye Harter and others is going to pay major dividends on Sunday. I am so happy for Skye Harter. He was always overshadowed in high school by Chris Brennan. Skye has improved so much at Akron. His free kick goal was beautiful..... and how about that 5th goal from a CVCA alum. I could hear fknbuflobo cheering that CVCA goal ....from several states away. Can't wait to read the Santa Barbara updates from Zip_me87 and SBZipfan and others

I believe this young man....plays non high school soccer for a team coached by former zip Clint Caso I believe that young Mr. Cruz is a midfielder.

Newcastle star...and former ZIP
