AyYo Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 The Akron women's soccer team opens it's season tomorrow against Bryant. They're running some ticket promotions (taken from the team's twitter account), if anyone is interested in checking out the new coach's team. Should be a perfect night for soccer.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CM3JHOgW8AAQ6XI.jpghttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CMyCdtSUkAA2tP4.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Lady Zips up 1-0 at halftime in their season opener. They look very solid right now. Controlled possession for majority of the first half, and are playing an aggressive attacking style. I'd be shocked if they finish this match with only one goal.Starters - 2 freshmen, 2 sophomores, 4 juniors, 3 seniorsAnnabelle Hegeman JUNIORRachel Eck SOPHOMORERachel Baughman FRESHMAN Katie George SENIORMadison Kaser JUNIORJenna Anderson SENIORAbby Gindlesberger JUNIORHolly Ohradzansky SENIORShea O'Brien FRESHMANSydney Schipani SOPHOMORESarah Sivic JUNIORSubs that played in first half - 2 freshmen, 1 junior, 1 seniorBecca Gordon FRESHMANHannah Werth SENIORRachel Schirripa FRESHMANKarin Norman JUNIOR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fknbuflobo Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Wow. Perhaps about time to attend a match or two. New coach seems to make a real difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mes102 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 7pm @ Niagara tonight. Will be a much tougher test for the Lady Zips.Some notes from the gozips.com article:- Katie George, a senior, has played 54 games and never scored a goal as a defender. New coach Noreen Herlihy moved her to midfield and she scores two goals in the season opener. - Freshman Rachel Baughman(the one I mentioned in the offseason) assisted on two goals in her collegiate opener. - 4th all-time meeting between the Zips and the Purple Eagles(first since 2005). Niagara is 3-0-0 against the Lady Zips. - Niagara won 9 of 11 games at home last season.- Purple Eagles lost 1-0 to Michigan State to open the season. Spartans had 11 shots compared to Purple Eagles' 3 shots.- Herlihy on Niagara: "We are looking to go up there and maybe shake things up a bit. They are a quality team but we aren't going to fear anybody this year. We are going to go up to Niagara with confidence and with the mindset of getting a result on the road."

mes102 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Akron tied Niagara 0-0 on the road. Not a bad result for the first road game with a VERY young, but talented squad."We were up against a strong physical team and are pleased with the effort shown by the players. We couldn't have asked anymore of them," said head coach Noreen Herlihy. "Defensively we were solid and we will continue to work hard to improve each week in all facets of the game. We still have plenty of work to do but it was a decent result on the road and we can take a lot of positives from tonight."====================================================================Next game is Tuesday at HOME vs Cleveland State. Kick-off set for 7:00pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks for the posts mes102. Like what I heard from Coach Herlihy. @fknbuflobo perhaps it is time to attend some Women's games. Maybe the Pitt game on Sunday Sep 13th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Lady Zips improve to 2-0-1 with 4-2 win over Cleveland State. Next up is @ St. Bonaventure on Friday, and Cornell (@ St. Bonaventure) on Sunday.St. Bonaventure is 1-1-2 on season(W vs Buffalo, L @ Binghamton, T @ Canisus & T vs Oakland).Cornell is 1-0-1 on season(W vs Loyola, T vs Siena).I expect the Lady Zips to come out of this weekend with either two ties, two wins, or one tie and one win. Any loss will be disappointing this weekend.Katie George, who didn't score a single goal in her 3 previous seasons with the Lady Zips, she has had her second match(out of three) this season with two goals(4 for the season and her career now). Coach Herlihy thought she would be more suited for midfield than defender, and it's already showing results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Match stats don't even look as close as the score indicated. Lady Zips scored in the 25th minute to take a 1-0 lead into halftime. St. Bonaventure scored in the 83rd minute to tie it up at 1-1. Lady Zips then scored in the 90th minute(less than 20 seconds left) to win 2-1 AT St. Bonaventure. They play a neutral site game vs Cornell on Sunday. Lady Zips now improve to 3-0-1.

Z.I.P. Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Good luck against Cornell on Sunday. I have a favorite player on Big Red, Dempsey Banks, one of Hawaii's best players in recent years. Go Zips! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Lady Zips down 0-1 at the half.Cornell looks solid. Best team on our schedule so far. Having a hard time getting any combinations without disrupting pressure from them. It's a battle of unbeaten teams, and hopefully we can get a goal in the 2nd half to tie this up at 1-1.

mes102 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Lady Zips lost to Cornell, 2-0. Three non-conference games to go, with the next one a week from today at home vs Pittsburgh @ 1:00pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Haven't seen anything regarding the women's recruiting front, so passing this on. Coach Herlihy already has three verbal commitments from class of 2017 players, including 3-star Ohio Premier defender Lauren Lambert. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/lauren-lambert/pid-51592 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mes102 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 A lot to work on, but I still like the solid start to the season for the Lady Zips. You'll have some bumps in the road when playing a different style with new coaching staff teaching "incumbent" student-athletes is never an easy task. I think this team will fight for the MAC East title and should make the MAC tournament. However, I won't go as far as expecting them to win the MAC title(until next year). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Congrats to the Lady Zips on taking down the #1 seed, Ball State, in PK's today. They will play #5 seed, Miami(OH), at Western Michigan on Friday, November 6th in the MAC Semifinals. The other semifinal is #2 Western Michigan hosting #3 Buffalo.In fact, of the 4 quarterfinal matchups, only the Western Michigan-Toledo one didn't go to PK's. Akron won 4-3, Miami won 4-3, and Buffalo won 3-1(WMU won in regulation, 3-0). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 The defense withstood a furious attack to take it to PKs. Props to GK Annabelle Hegeman who had seven saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Awesome! #8 taking down the #1 seed. Go Zips!That's pretty amazing considering they had to win a four-way tiebreaker to even get the final seed. From GoZips.com:Following the final regular season matches of MAC play on Thursday, Oct. 29, there was a four-way tie for the eighth and final spot. Akron, Ohio, and Bowling Green finished 3-8 in the MAC and Northern Illinois was 2-9-3, but each team had nine 9 points.The tiebreaker rule was put into effect to determine who came out with the final spot. The four teams were grouped together to see which teams had the most head-to-head wins. Akron had six points with a win over Ohio and Northern Illinois. Ohio also had six points with wins over Bowling Green and Northern Illinois.The tie between the Zips and the Bobcats was broken with Akron's head-to-head 2-0 win over Ohio on Sept. 27.

mes102 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Lost 1-0 to Miami(OH) in the MAC Semifinals. Good building blocks put down this season. I expect big things from this young squad next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
