mes102 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 This is a matchup of the past two MAC East champions. Akron won in 2009, and Miami(OH) won in 2010. Miami(OH) coming off a 2-1 victory over Ohio, and we're coming off a 1-0 win over Bowling Green. I was not able to make it friday. Heard we had some chances and Wise had a great goal. My high school alma mater won on friday over a conference school they haven't beaten since 1998. It was great to see that, but I'm glad to be back and watch the Lady Zips play Miami(OH). Got some family members that are in town today before heading back home out of state, and some of them should be there today. Here's how the MAC went down on friday:Akron 1, Bowling Green 0.Miami(OH) 2, Ohio 1.Buffalo 0, Ball State 0.Toledo 2, Can't State 0.Western Michigan 1, Central Michigan 0.Eastern Michigan 1, Northern Illinois 0.Here's the MAC Standings going into today:Overall MAC Standings1 Toledo- 19 points2 Central Michigan-14 points2 Ball State- 14 points4 Western Michigan -12 points5 Akron-11 points6 Ohio-10 points7 Buffalo- 9 points7 Can't State- 9 points9 Eastern Michigan- 7 points10 Miami(OH)- 6 points11 Bowling Green- 6 points12 Northern Illinois- 3 pointsMAC EastAkron: 3-2-2 -11 pointsOhio: 3-3-1 -10 pointsBuffalo: 2-2-3 -9 pointsCan't State: 3-4-0 -9 pointsMiami(OH): 2-5-0 -6 pointsBowling Green: 2-5-0 -6 pointsMAC WestToledo: 6-0-1 -19 pointsCentral Michigan: 4-1-2 -14 pointsBall State: 4-1-2 -14 pointsWestern Michigan: 4-3-0 -12 pointsEastern Michigan: 2-4-1 -7 pointsNorthern Illinois: 1-6-0 -3 pointsToday's games:Buffalo at Toledo, 12:00pmMiami(OH) at Akron, 1:00pmBowling Green at Ohio, 1:00pmCan't State at Ball State, 1:00pmEastern Michigan at Western Michigan, 1:00pmCentral Michigan at Northern Illinois, 2:00pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Snyder Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 @mes02Looks like the weather is changing and I will take my daughter to the game. We sit in the west bleachers. Stop by and say hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Still a way to go to get to be an elite team yet. Lady Zips down 3-0 late in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Zips down 3-0 late in the second half.Miami was the far superior team today. They had size advantage and far superior ball control. It was disappointing to watch...especially in person with intermittent rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 There's numerous reasons for it to be a long ways away from being an elite team. I feel comparing women's soccer to men's soccer is like comparing an ocean to a pond. Men's soccer team has a tradition. Women's soccer is trying to start one. The thing is that this team gets in deep holes at home, but never on the road. I wonder why... ... ...@Doug Snyder, sorry. Didn't get on ZN.o until now. My brother and I were in the first row of reserve grandstand seats. He got a t-shirt from one of the starting players, so it wasn't a bad day for him at least. He loved it and wants to come back again. Only way that would be possible is a home playoff game. That may not happen. But with the support that this team gets at home from the students, that may be a good thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually...that may get more fans to the games!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
