ZipsBurgh Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Bumping this up because it is National Signing Day for soccer. Any word on this? All of the buzz has been around football. Would love to know what recruits will be playing in the spring matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippyfan34 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Anyone know how our recruiting class shaped up? Geez, our soccer team seems to have dropped off the map.I think for the past few years we don't announce the class on signing day. Not sure if it has to deal with still finalizing what international recruits are coming in or what.On another topic, did anyone else get something in the mail that the soccer team is doing their once every 4 years international trip to Brazil this summer? I'm glad Victor will be able to show the guys his home country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippyfan34 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Anyone know if the trip to Brazil is happening this summer? I think it was dependent on fundraising and since we haven't seen much on it maybe it isn't happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I got a brochure about it like 6 weeks ago (I'll bet many season tix holders did too). The schedule looked pretty secure, i.e., ready to go. Sorry I didn't have an extra 10 grand sitting around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 if you go to akron u. soccer twitter, there is a tweet about brad ruhaak scoring a goal. says that the zips are heading to brazil next week.I was told shortly after the fall schedule came out, that they were very close to having the brazil trip funded. This will be a great experience for this hard working group of student athletes. tweet says:The pride of Akron Zips Brad Ruhaak rips a 30 yard bomb for his first goal as a Buck. Heading to Brazil with the Zips next week. Come home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Michigan Bucks (PDL) 3, Detroit City FC (NPSL) 0 In one of the most anticipated matches of the First Round, perennial U.S. Open Cup power Michigan Bucks grabbed two early goals from Nick Wysong and Peri Marosevic in the seventh and ninth minutes respectively. Threatening throughout the first half, the Bucks found a third goal on the hour mark with Brad Ruhaak’s long distance strike and easily handled their NPSL neighbors in the second half to earn a 3-0 victory. Next up for the Bucks is a Second Round date with Portland Timbers 2, set for May 20 at Ultimate Soccer Arenas in Pontiac, Michigan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if someone listed as defender or mid fielder doesn't end up playing a different position in the formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Kitchen came in as a freshman and only played 1 season. Wil Trapp and DeAndre Yedlin were both freshman and only played 2 seasons. And so on with others. My hope is that Goncalo Soares provides an immediate strong contribution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not need to pick a new church. I can continue to go to my church, which is really important to me.“It is pretty cool to have the best Division I program in the country just 15 minutes away. I am super excited to get started. Akron gets great players from all over, and the program produces so many great players. I want to continue to challenge myself and get to that next level and see how good of a soccer player I can be.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
