zippyfan34 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Screw the NCAA. We host Ryder in the first round and if we win play at #16 Syracuse then would play #1 Wake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More opportunities to beat some quality opponents and prove everyone wrong! Edited November 12, 2018 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Akron and Charlotte are the two teams in the RPI top 16 ....that did not get byes.... #17 Denver and #19 Syracuse are the two teams that got seeded instead New Hampshire, which had a 18 rpi....in effect..got seeded #32 as they would have to face #1 Wake in the round of 32 By facing #16 Syracuse(after the Rider matchup), Akron was probably the #17 seed 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malonepioneer12 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Agreed looks like we were #17. A lot better than I expected after the Nothern Illinois game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBZipfan Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Well I called it correctly on the RPI thread: Akron was in danger of getting bumped out of the top 16 by Denver and Syracuse ... But the forthcoming wins over Cuse and Wake will just make the trip to Santa Barbara all that much sweeter!

Hilltopper Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I would guess that our loss to Syracuse earlier this season was the difference between the 16 and 17 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzipguy Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) It did not help that: 1.) WE lost available games against ND and UCONN 2.) we let the regular season game against W.Virg get away and lost at N.ILL Edited November 12, 2018 by bigzipguy Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 here is a statement....that makes my very proud of akron zips soccer When postseason play begins, the Zips will join an elite group of just four Division I programs that have qualified for the NCAA Championships in each of the past 12 seasons. Only Indiana, Maryland, and Virginia can share that claim. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
