TennZip Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Posted March 14, 2021 1-0 northern Illinois 27 minutes to go awful midfield play by zips Quote
TennZip Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Posted March 14, 2021 2-0 Huskies 20 minutes to go looks like fall 2019 again Quote
bigzipguy Posted March 14, 2021 Report Posted March 14, 2021 Seems like we have had problem with Huskies at De Kalb before Quote
bigzipguy Posted March 14, 2021 Report Posted March 14, 2021 Did the Zips even get off the bus??????????????????????? Quote

Anyone one watching, do they really look bad??? they look as bad as the 3-0 score indicated outhustled to 50/50 balls.... no cohesiveness on passes lazy , sloppy back passes led to first 2 goals... goal keeper error led to 3rd goal really missed Pol Hernandez on left side I will have to look at player stats...but it looked like Pacheco sat for the first 26 minutes of 2nd half no offense today on left side of the field 1 Quote
bigzipguy Posted March 14, 2021 Report Posted March 14, 2021 I don't remember, is the MAC holding a tournament at end of regular season to determine AQ, or is just regular season champ go to NCAA'S ??? Quote

TennZip Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Posted March 14, 2021 after 2 games in the conference, every single team has a 1-1 record Bowling Green beat SIU-E today on a golden goal (SIUE had defeated WMU in first game) Western Michigan defeated West Virginia today 1-0 (WVU had defeated NIU in first game) Quote
TennZip Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Posted March 14, 2021 "We were outplayed all over the field today," Akron head coach Jared Embick commented. "The result was deserved by Northern Illinois. Fortunately for us, everyone in the conference is 1-1 and we have to learn from this and correct it by Wednesday." https://gozips.com/news/2021/3/14/mens-soccer-akron-suffers-setback-at-northern-illinois.aspx Quote

Wake up call? Quote

The coaches need to figure out the best players for the positions, and the players have to perform during all of their minutes in those positions. I don't think we've seen either, yet. It will help to have Pol Hernandez back. 1 Quote
MDZip Posted March 14, 2021 Report Posted March 14, 2021 The good thing is though it's a round robin home and away against every team this year so an away loss to NIU isn't quite as damaging As it would be in other years Quote
MDZip Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 Just out of curiosity I wondered where this loss stood up in the annals (I think anals would be appropriate too) in MAC conference history. As it turns out this stands as the single worst loss (by score) in the MAC in Zips history. Wow. Still sort of impressive in a way that the Zips had never been beaten in conference by more than 2-0 to this point. 1 Quote

Without a conference tournament, only the round-robin competition will be considered. Goal differential is one of the tie-breakers. Quote
