ZipsBurgh Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Did anyone attend the game @ the Riverhounds yesterday? Despite being local, I was not able to go. I saw the result, but was curious who scored the goals, how we looked, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have been told that Ezana and David Egbo scored the 2 goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 No GK anywhere would have stopped that 4th goal by Riverhounds. That shot rang the goal post like a bell just below the crossbar. It was a world class free kick from (I think) #25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of getting overzealous and potentially overshooting, he cooly dribbled to the left (GK's right) and put it in around the diving GK. Too bad the Rivehounds didn't bother to show the footage of the Zips' goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw he didn't get any PT and was wondering if he was still with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to have seen him. Phil Fives and Stuart Holthusen, who were trialists, with the Riverhounds were let go the previous week. So, we didn't see them either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 high temperature of 33 on Friday with 12 mph winds ? I suspect that Jared will know the names of every person in attendance Go, Zips 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Better turn out than expected in the freezing weather. Dozens were in attendance to see Zips trounce FC Porto, a youth academy from Toronto. It is not too soon to say this: Catch the brilliance that is David Egbo while you still can! He is looking more special every outing! He is unlikely to play out his full eligibility. Such touch! Such poise!

fknbuflobo Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Akron 2-4 Charleston Marcel Zajac with FK goal and a really sweet crossing assist to David Egbo. A worrisome and lackluster effort by Zips. Probably only 4 or 5 of players on today’s squad will start come Fall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fknbuflobo Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) AK 1-1 MD A hotly contested affair, atypically for Spring. Egbo, Zajac, Strachan, Lundt played well. Evenly matched, which surprised me. Terps have many more returning than do Zips. Edited April 22, 2018 by fknbuflobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 The match saw the intensity ramp up after the opening 15 minutes. Both teams came to play and win. It got chippy at times. I thought Maryland had more opportunities to score but the Zips were not impressed. I spoke with Jared at the half and he said the team is starting to come together. They are understanding each other better and he will have depth once again. The new guys coming in will supplant many of today's starters. Bottom line is we played Maryland even with players that may not start in the fall. We will probably have a rocky fall start, but Jared will get them to gel. My biggest concern is who will be our distributing midfielder next fall? get that solved and we are ready to go deep in the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
