Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 What an amazing cross and header on the 3rd goal. The first few years, Embick needed to prove that Akron wasn't just Caleb Porter, that Akron was a powerhouse that happened to be taken to the next level by Porter. Since then, he is consistently putting together strong seasons. All season I kept saying all we needed to do was get into the NCAA tournament. Well, here we are - onto the Sweet 16! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a great college soccer match," Muuss added. "For a college soccer fan and for a soccer purist, these are two teams that like to play. We played them my first season and it was one of the best games I've been involved in since I've been here." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 "As a Wake fan, I'd much rather play (and lose, if it comes to that) to an Akron that actually attempts to play technically than to get run over by an overly physical direct team [Stanford Cardinal]. I don't think there are two programs that have "technical soccer" more ingrained in their DNA than Wake and Akron. Suffice to say, I'm excited as well. Should be a great game." -quzybuk (WF fan) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our people need to get with their people and get it done. Loved the Wake/UNC swing we did a number of years ago. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much respect for WF being willing to do so. I would love to start up a home and home series with them again, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Wake Forest finally has a news release out on the game https://wakeforestsports.com/news/2018/11/23/mens-soccer-soccer-gameday-no-1-wake-forest-vs-no-16-akron.aspx it is interesting to me to compare ticket prices Wake Forest will charge $8 for NCAA round of 16 Syracuse charged $6 for NCAA round of 32 Akron soccer charged $20 for round of 64 my conclusion - Akron has to charge more....to cover the costs of the disappointing gridiron team that can not pay off the huge costs associated with Infocision stadium.

VAZip Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Getting pumped about the trip down to Wake Forest tomorrow. Supposed to be sunny and mid 50’s. Should be some great soccer.

That team was a MESS in Aug/Sept. The team that got drubbed in Seattle early had no chance of earning a trip to the postseason. Where the new team came from I dunno, but coach C deserves plenty credit for finding them. Question with Kentucky -- as well as they've played all season is, what will happen if and when they hit the College Cup. Their first time in the limelight -- will they hold up under the pressure?
