I wanted to take a minute to give a tremendous amount of credit to Coach Embick and his coaching staff. With 18 new players.....including 2 that had played 3 years for other programs, this had to be one of the most challenging years that Coach Embick has encountered. Without being able to see the match and just by following tweets and live stats, I would have to say that Abdi Mohammed was the MVP today. He scored the first goal and Marcel scored the 2nd goal on a rebound shot after the goalie could not contain Abdi's shot. This coaching staff was using Abdi in the midfield and up front....and they made the decision to move him to right DB. If you look back at the lineups for the first Syracuse game and the BG game right after it, Colin Biros was no where to be found. This coaching staff knew when young Mr. Biros was ready to contribute. Morgan Hackworth was not in the starting lineup for the BG game. Morgan has developed so much during his time at Akron. I never expected that Morgan would start and be a key player. Coach Embick and his staff know that Morgan is a winner. Tremendous credit to Colin and Morgan for their work ethic. I am not sure if there was an injury to Pol Hernandez but the insertion of Daniel Strachan into the starting lineup today really appeared to be a wise move. Daniel had several shots in the first half and he is a force on corner kicks (with his size) The zips soccer program is in good hands with Coach Embick and his staff.

this gives you an idea of the conditions that these young men thrived in today

Syracuse coach....congratulating the Zips

it is great to see alums supporting this team

Congratulations to the zips goals from 3 different players

live stats finally made it to 45:00 they are showing Akron leading 4-2 in corners Cuse leading 12-11in shots and leading 6-5 in shots on goal

same here on the live stats the mcgrath kid....that is tweeting for syracuse tv (citrus tv) told about the zips goal about 3-4 minutes before live stats cusemsoc twitter is god awful....only tells when syracuse does something at one point, zips had 5 straight shots and syracuse guy only tweeted about some orange player sprinting down the field big ten looking strong indiana routed connecticut 4-0 maryland leads NC state 2-0 at 88:37 virginia leads furman 2-0 at 86;10 w. virginia and georgetown scoreless at half

Let's go, zips

Akron soccer web site does show a link to live stats from ncaa.com weather.com shows snow showers for Hamilton,NY at 1:00 and forecast shows snow as the forecast for 2:00 and 3:00..high of 30 degrees and 6 mph wind since there is no live streaming, it would be very nice if the Akron soccer Sports Info person would tweet more often ...than just at halftime and at the end of the game.... However, we have learned to expect very little from the Akron soccer sports info person https://gozips.com/news/2018/11/17/mens-soccer-zips-set-for-ncaa-tournament-second-round-match-against-syracuse.aspx

looks like Syracuse is still saying ...tweets are the best that we can expect from the communications school
