Georgetown Hoyas

[fknbuflobo]

Nervous I am!

Hoyas want revenge for Zips beating them at their place last year.

Zips lack cohesion in the offensive third.  The final pass is not connecting. Zips need Stuart Holthusen to get healthy.

Maybe the toughest opponent on the schedule and the Zips aren't in form yet.

top Drawer talks about the akron game and 4 other games.

One encouraging note.  We know that Georgetown's goalie is a first team all american pre season selection.  The encouraging note is that Georgetown's 2 center backs and 2 outside backs from last year....all graduated.

 

Go, Zips.

Yeah, I forget what happened last year.  I think the service we got for most games was badly executed.  Here's hoping the best!

Zips were very aggressive early, but Georgetown looks to have adjusted.

My picture went haywire, then died at 35mins.  Sidearm Sports, no me gusta.  So according to gametracker 0-0 near half.  Georgetown has no shots yet.

Edit:  Okay, saw tweet from @WilTrapp that he was watching, and re-booted.  Can see halftime scoreboard now.  Thanks Wil!  lol

Brad Ruhaak, 89th minute.  AKRON WINS!!!  Phhheewwww!  That was one we deserved, but almost didn't get!

ZIPS WIN! Ruhak scores with less than a minute!

[TennZip]

great student crowd.

very good to see the interim president and AD Larry Williams in the crowd

Akron was the better team and deserved the win.   The veterans...Victor, Adam, Sam, Danilo and Brad all really had outstanding games

really shows a nice angle of Brad's goal

Akron 1-0 Georgetown

Very entertaining match between two quality sides. Basically same style of ball from each.

Zips had more of the ball, but not by much. Hoyas had way more possession than Zips usually allow. Both sides had just a few chances. Both keepers wowed the crowd. Zips converted a rebound with 36 seconds remaining. Match could very easily have gone to Georgetown. But Zips earned a result, if not the win.

Embick had no freshman starting. This moved Najem to Forward. (Joke is that everyone at Akron is Midfield.) At the hour mark, Freshman Jon Lewis entered the match like he was shot from a cannon. Najem dropped to Midfield. Whole match changed right there.
