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?

We are in….vs Princeton at home….

Hofstra won….

WKWK disappears for many minutes at a time. I am happy we are playing so well but I wonder what would happen if we had a real #10 that didn’t go backwards all the time.

This guy is incredible….best striker I have ever seen at Akron.

Emil is the best striker I have ever seen at Akron. I don’t have the history some of the others do on here but I have had season tickets since 2013 and watching him play, shoot and pass is impressive. I went to 3 home games this year (the Guardians took priority). Ohio State, I can’t even remember the other game (it was that unmemorable) and tonight. This is a different team than vs Ohio State. I dare to say this reminds me of another run to the College Cup when we got hot and Marcel Zajac played out of this world……..let’s keep it up. We still have a lot of work to do.

I’m here….

Under 500….

Bad loss….reminds me of a Hartwick game about 10 years ago where we outshot Hartwick something like 24-2 and lost 2-0. This season is spiraling out of control….I didn’t go tonight because I would rather watch the Guardians and I have had season tickets for over 10 years…. Not good….

Wow….

All I can tell you is my interest level is waining. I want championships….I have been to the College Cup to see Akron lose and that is not fun but last night was one of the worst performances I have ever seen from an Akron team in the 10 years I have had season tickets. Michigan 3 years ago and a 0-0 tie was an awful game, losing to Hartwick was awful but last night was terrible. It was a shame, such a beautiful night outside and such an awful performance. There is still time to turn it around but .500 is not acceptable.

Honestly in the last number of games the Akron offense has been nonexistent. Henry is hurt, Clapier is coming off injury and that leaves us Shook. No other offense to speak of. I would like to see Wilson at goal although I have no idea if Budler could have done better on the goal. We might miss the NCAA tourney.

Bad loss…

Too bad Budler came back….Wilson is a better GK. Just being honest…
