Anyway, close call, Buckeyes had a few shots on goal, but the Zips cleared them.Anyway, for the fight, the ball was rolling down the south end of the field to the East. The OSU guy was jogging after it and the Akron guy came charging up from behind and they collided when both reached the ball. Then there was a bunch of shoving but apparently no fouls.

Interesting difference in strategy. When the goalkeepers get teh ball, OSU likes to kick it all the way down the field. About 60% of the time UA will get the ball on this. Akron likes to roll the ball to a UA player deep in their own end and work the ball upfield, which they are very successful with.

That's the difference between so-called "long ball" versus possession play. Often teams that are inferior from a skill standpoint opt for the "long ball".

End of first half, Akron 1, Columbus State 0
Excellent! Keep it up Zips!!You know, this is crazy but I've been following the CBS college sports scoreboard, and they have practically EVERY D-1 game on there except the game involving the NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE NATION!!!! :mad_flame: I'm not sure what gives here. Usually I can count on CBS college sports, whether the gametracker scoreboard or the ticker on the TV station (which is generally MUCH better than the ESPNU ticker for college soccer).
