they need to revoke the vote of the 1 coach that voted Clemson #1

zips are #3 in the final vote by the coaches

We played National Champion Stanford to a 0-0 tie two days prior from Clemson getting blown out 4-0 yet they are ranked ahead of us. I see us as #2. Getting one round further at this stage is meaningless in that regard. I can make a strong argument for Wake Forest being ranked ahead of Syracuse too.

We prevail over Stanford and the National Championship was likely ours.

@TennZip: I agree that they need to revoke the vote of the 1 coach that voted Clemson #1

@UAZipster0305: I understand your logic, but Clemson getting one round further secured the runner-up trophy. I couldn't see the coaches voting them less than #2.

Unfortunately, we didn't get past Stanford even though we had the opportunities. Given the ZIps' Goals Against Average early this season, it's a huge accomplishment by Jake Fenlason and our defenders that Stanford did not score. Although, as a wise man said on 9/11/2015, There is not much statistical promise in allowing 2 goals per match, the Zips defense improved and made it to the semifinals with a 1.26 GAA entering the match and came darn close to getting to the title game. By the way, Stanford was scoring 1.86 goals/game entering our match.

I quit "licking wounds" Saturday morning. This Zips team had a great season with absolutely nothing to hang their heads about. It didn't end the way we wanted, but it was a great season. Thanks to Jared, Leo, TJ, Ger, Oliver, the rest of the staff and all of our very talented players. Now I just have to occupy my time until Spring when MLS training starts followed shortly after by our Spring schedule.
