Zips Men's Soccer at WVU

Mountaineers Soccer

On Saturday, April 10, WVU plays host to 2009 NCAA runner-up Akron at 3 p.m...

In the 2009 season, Akron ran through its competition, during the regular season and NCAA Tournament, unscathed before falling to Virginia in the title game in penalty kicks (3-2). Although the loss in PK’s during the regular season would have counted as a tie, the result goes down as a loss for Akron, as it finished the season at 23-1-1. The team returns the corps of its lineup, including 2009 M.A.C Hermann Trophy winner Teal Bunbury. ...

"Akron didn't lose a game last year,” coach Marlon LeBlanc says. “They had the best defense and highest scoring team in the country. We're playing arguably the best team in America on Saturday. That alone will present a great challenge.

Just a little misinformed (concerning where Teal plays in 2010)

EDIT: The lady Zips also play at WVU on April 10th:

The Mountaineers play conference foe Pitt in the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center Soccer Invitational on Saturday, April 10, at 11 a.m., and will face Akron at 5 p.m.

I was there...WVU actually scored just after time expired at the end of the game. The refs conferred and agreed time had expired. The Zips best chance was thwarted by a WVU player (not the goalkeeper) getting a foot on the ball and deflecting it right at the goal line (awesome play).

Thanks for the eyewitness report How was the action in terms of possession?

Zips controlled the ball most of the time and had more shots on goal....5-1, I believe. It was disconcerting that WVU scored just after time ran out. It was at the end of the field opposite the scoreboard, so I had to wait for the refs. Also more calls against WVU than the Zips, but I don't recall any yellow cards.

The next 2 games against Maryland and Indiana will be interesting.
