2-2 at the half

WMU 1-0 on an early PK. Horrible video quality!

Yes, the 3:30 start time was posted in the thread for the game (where the free video link is also posted).

Remaining games, all on 11/4: Akron @ WMU BGSU @ WVU GSo @ GSt

WVU up on Georgia Southern 4-0 at 60min ...

IMO, random chance plays a much bigger role in soccer than in basketball, due to the very low scores. I don't think either NIU or BUGS has "moved even" with Akron on a long-term basis.

NIU has clinched the regular-season MAC championship. Remaining games: WVU @ GSo Akron @ WMU BGSU @ WVU GSo @ GSt

Final: BUGS 1, WMU 1. BUGS missed a great opportunity in the last minute of OT.

NIU goes up 2-1 with 7 min remaining. And that's the final score.

No, you have to pay $6.95 for a 24-hour pass https://niuhuskies.com/watch/?Live=5749&type=Live

Really? Not goal differential or something based on on-the-field results?

How many teams get in?

Ouch. Not pretty.

Their best athletes play lacrosse. Yale won the national championship in 2018 and was runner-up in 2019.

And that's all she wrote for this season ... Looking forward to next year, when I hope the Zips will come back to Santa Barbara for the College Cup!

Congrats Zips! Now: win the MAC tournament, and make some noise in the NCAAs!

Nice!

Correct. The above-500 criterion applies only to at-large selections.

Well a disappointing end to an otherwise great Zips weekend here in SB. The three key penalties were all called at the far end from the Akron section, and we didn't see what had happened. Good to know they were not terrible calls. Had a great time before and during the game with 72 Roo and friends. Hope we can do it all again in 2020! And: Stu Parry is one of the nicest people ever. A real class act. Good show all around, Zips nation!

Thank you for this! I was sitting with Stu and his wife at the game on Friday. I had no idea that he was a former coach and so important to Akron soccer! Wow. What a privilege.

Yes, absolutely. No chance it will sell out. Tickets are $25 + $1 service fee if bought in advance (print at home). (There is also a will-call option but I do not recommend it.) You can also buy tickets at the venue. Seats are general admission. (The ticketing system will show something like BLU9, but it doesn't mean anything.) Here is the link: https://www.ncaa.com/tickets/soccer-men/d1 Hope to see you there!

Good times here in Santa Barbara! Great to meet Zip_ME87, 72 Roo, and many more Zips fans! Akron well represented, good show! Best moment: two women sitting a couple rows in front of us; when Braden Petno scored, one leaped up and yelled "that's my brother!" followed by the other "that's my son!". Fantastic game to see in person. Zips looked very solid, very impressive. I was worried about Indiana in the final, but … no more Indiana! Maryland is still a very good team, but I like Akron's chances. A lot. Go Zips!

Seems like the team is finally getting some of the media attention it has long deserved. Go Zips! I look forward to meeting some of you here in Santa Barbara later today ...
