Akron vs WVU


Recommended Posts

I believe Andrew will return for the Western Michigan game. It's nice the Zips have 8 days until their next match, and the next 2 are still at home.

Early in the first half last night, one of the leaders of the Rowdies was told he was "blocking the isle" by, I believe, a MAC representative. He then argued with him for a few minutes claiming he wasn't blocking the isle. The student, I don't know his name, but he regularly is seen on the hill leading chants, then walked away toward the opposite end of the field and was followed by the MAC representative. The MAC representative stopped the student on the walkway near the Zips bench and the student was not seen for the remainder of the match. I believe he was ejected. Also, three or four times during the first half, a university official told the rowdies they could/couldn't sing this or that chant.

If no profanity or threatening type argument occurred, there should have been no ejection. From your description, I really don't know enough about what occurred to take sides. As far as the chants, the match last night was streamed nationally. The university has a right to tell the Rowdies which chants cannot be sung to maintain a good image. It's no different than the announcement they make that any fan can be removed for using profanity or threatening language. The Rowdies are awesome...great support of our team last night and throughout this season. I'm not a university official, but I am an alumnus and fan. Please understand the Rowdies represent us all, and they do it well. Have fun, but realize that there has to be some restraint to ensure our image is properly projected.

14Bryce Cregan had a CB's nightmare of a first half, resulting in giving 2 goals.

25Clint Caso subbed in before half to stabilize the defense.

Zips rallied for a thrilling come from behind victory. :cheers:

Clint did an awesome job stabilizing the defense. Kudos to the team for maintaining composure and coming back in the face of adversity. Also, a huge THANK YOU to Jesse Garcia-Aguilar for preserving the 3-2 lead/win with that clearance in goal with about 1:15 to go in the match.
