There is a story behind that, to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 We had a good spring start against Cleveland State. Jared is high on this team. Another reason to be excited is that more defensive help may coming from Europe over the summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fknbuflobo Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 A very good team victory, in which everyone who played contributed. Jonas Buechte was again outstanding, this time from Center Back position. He organized the Defense, intercepted passes, and made several key tackles that halted counter attacks. He even scored off a restart. Malik Henry was a monster up and down the right flank. His defending was uncharacteristically solid, breaking up opposing offence down the Zips' right. But his half dozen over-lapping runs into the final third were lethal. And unlike last week, his crossing was money. Ryan Kingsford's score was a direct result of Henry's excellent cross. Dyson Clapier again terrorized the opposition defense with well-timed runs and scoring attempts down the left. He was a bit unlucky to have not scored a few times, having beaten his man to goal. He should have finished on at least one of those. Better shooting from Clapier would have ended the match as a contest in the first half. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb3eav3p2Ue/ I know that a few great super zips soccer fans made the trip to Pittsburgh today to support the mighty soccer zips. instagram shows that the zips beat Robert Morris 3-2 goals by Jason Shokalook, Malik Henry and Stefan Dobrijevic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 RMU 2-3 AKR FT Presumably due to sloppy conditions, match moved to Joe Walton Field where Robert Morris plays FB, LAX, FH, but not Soccer. There are lines all over the place, none applicable to soccer. And the width is less than 60 yards. It was weird playing with what I think is a LAX Penalty Area. Is the GK out? Who knows!? Like everything else in Pittsburgh, the field is built into the side of a mountain. Easily a dozen balls were sent over the fence during play, possibly gone forever. Malik Henry continues to shine along the right flank with speedy overlapping runs out of defense. What is improving rapidly is his service into the box. The first score of the match was just such a run capped by a (no exaggeration) world class cross onto the head of Jason Shokalook for the score. Sublime! Ryan Kingsford is the Zips' best option at several positions, but his most natural place is in the middle of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1, or in "the hole" as some say. His work rate is off the charts and he sprays the ball all over the pitch with a variety of passing techniques. Kingsford probably passed the ball to every single Zip who saw time. Freshman Stefan Dobrijevic again impressed off the bench, slotting in the winning goal with a right footer to the far post from the left side of goal. Extra drama mid way through the second half when Head Coach Jared Embick was tossed from the match for (justifiably) berating the near side linesman. Not sure, but I think Will Jackson may have been tossed as well. At any rate, WilJax did not return after exiting. It was fairly intense for spring soccer. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted April 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Thanks @fknbuflobo. Fun afternoon/evening in Pittsburgh supporting the Zips in their 3-2 exhibition win over RMU and then attending a 2-0 Riverhounds win over Loudoun. Great catching up with Robby Dambrot and Shane Wiedt and their families. Especially enjoyed talking with Keith, Donna, and Alysse Dambot whom I miss around Akron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 NHL Points system has come to NCAA soccer. It's not so bad over the course of a long season, but for these mini seasons that could really throw things off. No-draw soccer seems a little odd, I can't stand PKs because it turns a team game into an individual skills challenge. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I despise PKs. Soccer has a perfectly good point system and tiebreaker system. Why make up a new system that rewards teams for parking the bus and taking a game to PKs. Beyond awful! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
