Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Not the best effort to start that 2nd OT and it costs the Zips. We need an offensive threat next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Whoever said Zips didn't deserve to be in the Tourney was right. Embarrassing home loss. Other MAC schools surpassed this program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous credit to BG for going on the road to beat highly ranked Louisville Impressive win by Georgia State at Charlotte Akron showed tonight that it is not a top team in the MAC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigzipguy Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Got deep into their end and just could not have a touch pass for a score. 9-0 in corners, but just could not get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. You never know , especially in soccer, but Kentucky will roll these guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer is a cruel game. A team can dominate but fail to capitalize. One bad touch can be the difference between winning and losing. This team simply did NOT have it this year. Time to regroup and squeeze every last dime out of that recruiting budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malonepioneer12 Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 This was a disappointing year. We started off so well at the beginning - the Pitt game, the crowd and atmosphere at the Indiana game but then the Ohio State game happened and I don’t think Akron was ever the same. The only game I thought that they played well after that was vs Penn State but that was only in the first 30 minutes. Bowling Green was a blowout but we finished every chance we had in that game. Starting with the Michigan game it just seemed like the fire and excitement from the beginning of the year had evaporated. Losing vs NIU was excused because they were good but losing vs Western Michigan when the MAC tourney was on the line should have given pause. Tonight’s game was a microcosm of the entire season - start well (we started the season so well) but then poor execution and a mental mistake leads to a goal for SC (Ohio State / WMU) We fight back but can’t finish and they mercifully end the game. Thanks to our seniors for their efforts but to be honest - this might be one of the most disappointing senior classes ever. Championship Game as freshman and not even a win in the NCAA tourney after that. If you told me that when Akron was destroying MSU 5-1 in the national semifinal that they wouldn’t win another tourney game in those freshman at the time careers I would have told you that you were crazy. But here we are. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzipguy Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 terrible soccer for the most part, with a few exceptions, in their last 3 contests. Well dominating possession time , o,k , but finishing no. The BG game at home was beautiful finishing. Maybe the clue on how this could happen was the W. Mich match. They score, we tie, they score, we tie, until they bitter O.T. loss up there. Did the fact that the Zips got in despite not making their own tournament cause them to just assume that if they put in a 'good' effort it would result in a win???. THIS THE NCAA TOURNAMENT - ASSUME NOTHING. ASK THE LOUISVILLE CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurts, but in terms of the game I thought we really played well tonight.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzipguy Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Zips gave up a combined total of 8 goals in their last 3 matches. 2 vs N.Ill , 4 vs W. Mich, 2 vs Santa Clara. IMHO, too many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Interesting comment from Santa Clara coach......on the tendencies of the zips “We learned how to defend in and around the box, which is where Akron is really good,” Broncos coach Cameron Rast said. “Eleven of their last 13 goals have come from crosses from their wide channel, putting balls in the middle where they punch it in. my comments.....In recruiting this year, the zips need to find a speedy, good passing midfielder (I know, those are hard to find).....who can work the ball up the middle of the field....and make good passes into the box....from the middle of the field.... Toward the end of the year, Malik Henry was working very hard to learn to cut into the middle of the field.....to try to score goals himself.....and to make good passes from the midfield... Malik Henry had an incredible first year for the zips. He has a great burst of speed and made great passes from the wide channel. But, the zips need to be multi dimensional and make progress from the center of the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
