I won't lie; it brings a tear to my eye. The money pass was the right footed cut back and left footed cross from the ambidextrous Marco Micaletto. Exquisite! You mention the skill of Marco Micaletto in your comment. Mr. Micaletto and so many others are what impress me so much about the growth of this team and the skill of the coaching staff and the work ethic of many of these young men. It is so hard to play soccer in one system for 3 years and then come to Akron for the senior year. It was obvious that both Marco Micaletto and Abdi Mohamed had some growing pains in the adjustment. Abdi also had to deal with a position change. Both Abdi and Marco Micaletto are both playing some fantastic soccer right now and have made enormous changes to their games to help the team win. Tremendous credit to their unselfishness, hard work and also to the coaches for finding the right fit for them. Colin Biros has become an outstanding contributor to the team over the last half of the season. Colin is not the biggest kid on the field but his work ethic is unrivaled. Great credit goes to Colin for his development over the year. Daniel Strachan was a huge part of last year's final four team. It has been a learning process for the coaching staff and Daniel to find the best fit for Daniel with this group of young men. I believe that Daniel has started 2 of the last 3 games in place of Pol. Credit to the coaching staff for knowing the teams and the games when Daniel's talents would be most effective. Daniel also deserves a lot of praise for dealing with not being a starter for every game like he was in 17 and contributing greatly when he has been given the chance to start in huge games. Finally, Ezana Kahsay. Ezana;s give and go with Marcel for the 2nd goal was incredible soccer and was beautiful. Can any of us have envisioned 2-3 years ago that Ezana would make a beautiful, instinctive soccer play that would lead to a magnificent goal in a win over Stanford? Ezana has grown so much over his 5 years with Akron. He is really contributing and he has matured greatly. I am only able to make it to 2-3 home games a year. Many people that sit around me in section 203 have bashed Ezana unmercifully over the last several years. I am very proud of this young man from Eritrea and how he has grown to be a huge contributor. This team would not be going to the college cup without the growth and development during the year of Marco Micaletto, Abdi, Ezana, Colin , Daniel and so many others. Jared Embick and his coaching staff deserve great praise for believing in each young man and finding their best attributes on the soccer field. Sermon over.....Extremely proud of these young men and their coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malonepioneer12 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Has anyone heard anything on Carlo? I think Marco Micaletto had his best game of the year. Great time for it. I had been hard on him this year but he proved me wrong with just the one pass. Also I have been extremely hard on Ezana, I was wrong on him as well. He has been playing great soccer the last few games. I have to ask but did anyone really think we had a chance at the college cup after the Northern Illinois loss? What a great year.

If you’re local and couldn’t travel to Stanford, it was the best place to be. Cheering and celebrating with other Zips fans. Zips Athletics put up some videos on their Instagram. Well done and many thanks UA!!! Were there people on both sides of the JAR? I see they ran a video, but it only showed the blue seats side at the end of the match. They need to hype this more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleachers were not available. Some also standing along the south bleachers (no bleachers available...just the upper chairbacks shown) and a few from the university in the lower bowl which was closed off. With the men's and women's basketball games today, I'm sure they needed to limit the areas that would need to be prepped.

slowroll Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'm stunned at this group's turnaround. I was at that infamous WVU home game and wrongly assumed 2018 was just a rare down year....it happens to the best, after all. From that moment to now feels like a lifetime. Incredible fight in these Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 There was a healthy turnout at the watch party, but there was still plenty of seating available in the west bleachers. I anticipate returning to the JAR this Next Friday for similar affair. Any word on that yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
