zippyfan34 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 I just saw the Buckeyes are 1-3 and lost to Navy 1-3. That will be my first home game as I am out of town Friday. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 The ODU loss remains a mystery to me, but looking at the schedule before the season, I'd take a 3-1 start no questions asked. Way to put the loss behind us and focus on the next challenge(s). 1 Quote
Z.I.P. Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 We could move into top 10 in coaches' poll this week! Quote
Z.I.P. Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 Akron up 3-2; 5:30 leftThanks for the updates, guys. My audio feed died with 20 minutes to play! Great weekend! Quote
Dave in Green Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 That has to be one of the toughest 4-game road trips any team will face this season. Winning 3 of 4 is especially sweet when you win the 2 biggest. I think we may have a keeper coach. 1 Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 I wonder if this will be enough to bump us into the "receiving votes" category in the next NSCAA poll. Quote

TennZip Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Posted September 8, 2015 I think the NSCAA coaches poll only includes games thru Sunday....so we don't see the benefit of this win until next weekhttp://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/menst. louis is #14 in top drawer soccer weekly poll....so the zips have another chance for a win that will help them greatly in the RPI Quote
Z.I.P. Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 Hopefully they wait to vote after the holiday! Quote
a-zip Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 Leaving Ludwig Field now...strutting with my Zips hat on. Score was 3-2 but we looked great. First Maryland goal was questionable...looked like an amazing save to me. We packed it in after being up 2-0 and that was tense. We hit the gas and went up 3-1...packed it in and gave up another. BELIEVE ME this is a tough place to win. Unbelievable road swing ZIPS! We beat both Maryland and Georgetown who both sent former #1 UCLA back to the west coast with their tails between their legs. Keep it going men.... Quote
MDZip Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 Yellow card on AKR TEAM???Assistant coach was a bit upset after a call went against the Zips. :-) Quote

There was some home town stuff going on. The team was inspired after the yellow card….. Nice job coaches!! Quote

UAZipster0305 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 I guess this makes up for the loss to Old Dominion. I'd like to remind everyone that in 2010 (the NCAA Championship year) we inexplicably lost on the road at Cleveland State. I hope the ODU game is considered analogous in hindsight. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 I do not believe analogy holds.We were better then. CSU was far inferior to us at the time.Give ODU credit. They are a quality side. They got a bit lucky with the long passes. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 ODU will be a tournament team. Quote

They are a quality side. They got a bit lucky with the long passes.They are respectable and will be a Tournament team, agreed. However, we are the better side and they are definitely not 4-1 better than us. Quote

Jared started the "conversation" with the ref and then Leo came over and took the YC. Players were definitely fired up after that. Great job!! Quote

Great job!!Yea, nice assist by Leo ;-) I initially thought Jared was getting the card. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Crucial BlundersNice video of one of their "blunders". I'm sure we'll never get to see a video of their first goal...the one Jake saved, but the AR said went in. Nevermind soccer is not like American Football; the ENTIRE ball must go over the goal line to score. Quote

Nevermind soccer is not like American Football; the ENTIRE ball must go over the goal line to score.I was at the game but didn't have of a good enough angle on Maryland's "first goal" to comment fairly. However, I was told by a buddy who watched the match on BTN that after the save the ball went out for a corner. If the entire ball was in the goal it would defy the laws of physics for the ball to then cross the end line. Home cooking??? Quote
