Not sure why Remi left his feet on the red card….just not thinking. Literally a minute earlier made a great attempt that he put over the bar….absolutely great performance and effort made by O’Rourke, Pivia, and Drees…I’m not sure how those guys were standing at the end of the game….they gave an incredible effort. Also, great effort by Bunch coming off the bench.

Nice win!

Does anyone have video of the goal?

I hope a good recruit or transfer.

That makes this loss tougher with the higher seeds losing but still an unexpected season. Great job guys!

Wow….a disappointing game, more like a disappointing half. I am not usually positive but if you would have told me that Akron would make it to the elite eight at the beginning of the year, I would have been elated. Soccer is a brutal sport. The best team doesn't always win. The dominant team doesn’t always win. Losing any player would have been tough but losing Dreas was a backbreaker. He is a wonderful player and is able to do some much for the team. I hated the style of our penalty kick (see my post above) but at the end of the day - if we played with 10 men for any length of time we were going to lose. It just is tough because the bracket really broke Akron’s way this year. It is so tough to win a championship in soccer. One day we will get a second star but unfortunately not this year. I have no complaint with the players today (besides the penalty kick). I just think this wasn’t meant to be.

Not an ideal penalty kick…. why not just kick it hard and in the corner….

Good draw

The offense is terrible…..effort can only get you so far. Going from Emil to Ferguson is a steep drop off…..

Can someone tell me why Ferguson is playing at all? Yes I know he scored but anyone could have scored that goal. Every time he touches the ball = turnover.

There definitely is some irony in some of these quotes but my quote still stands…..I want championships….getting to the second round of the NCAA tourney is not good enough….that being said I know the draw was bad last year and Indiana played like a bunch of thugs….but let’s get a second star soon please.

That is ridiculous….

Thanks for the updates…

This is a good draw…what does everyone think?
