As BigZipGuy shared with us, Pitt lost to West Virginia On Friday night, Pitt beat Lehigh 2-1 as you can see in the link above, top drawer soccer thinks that Pitt has 3 of the best 7 players in college soccer. Midfielders Veljko Petkovic and Valentin Noel are the 2 guys that Akron will have to stop Monday night. Pitt also has a defender that was selected for pre season All American team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips88 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 1-1. Pretty goal by Pitt with about 31 minutes to play. Long cross for a back post header. Pitt possesses well and really pushes forward. Had that feeling it was only a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malonepioneer12 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 .#19 of Pitt is a dirty player. He took out our #10 and while our guy was on the ground called him a fuc….. puss….. and believe me that wasn’t the only incident. #19 this message is for you - Go home - loser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonepioneer12 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 On a positive note - very good win in spite of the ref. He let the game get out of hand and the Pitt coach didn’t even try to contain his players at the end. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akron Rick Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yeah what was the bone of contention at the game's end? I kinda thought Pitt's players were pissed the last few secs ran out with the ball out of play, but that's life on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzipguy Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Very physical match. I think Pit got away with a lot!!!. I know there was pushing and shoving after the match. We have all seen that in college soccer before. But I cannot think of another time when there was a general absence of hand shakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonepioneer12 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 AkronRick - the scrum at the end started with above described situation. In my opinion the ref let the game get out of control. Pitt was constantly complaining and it just got gradually worse. The end was just a carryover from something that should have been taken care of during the game. #19 is an aggressive player and he is a good player - but his actions were pathetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akron Rick Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 My players of the game... 3. Malik Henry. Dude is FAST and made a great cross on Zips 1st score. Last night I hated the Canucks but tonight love ya Malik! 2.Ryan Kingsford. He's the player that seems to get stronger as the game goes on. Never slowed down tonight. 1. Will Meyer. Has improved so much since last year. Will and the Pitt keeper had a great time one-upping each other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your list, but I would go in the opposite order. 1. I have never seen Will Meyer play as well as he did tonight. MOTM! 2. Ryan Kingsford works tirelessly. He is non-stop. And he does everything well. 3. Malik Henry is fast. I mean, like DeAndre Yedlin/Kofi Sarkodie fast. Hope his ankle heals up well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Great team performance.....the defenders and GK's worked their tails off.... the forwards and wingers....were simply outstanding.... the midfielders ran all over the field...Renato has quickly become a favorite....he is feisty and does not back down Hoping that Samu will be back for Friday's big match. Samu is the best ball winner on the team as HMF Finally, it was great to see our new Athletic director on the field with his young children after the game I am so glad that Larry the Lawyer....has moved on. Charles Guthrie has made a strong first impression. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
