This match is guaranteed to be rough on the pitch, and possibly even in bleachers.  There is no love lost between these two teams, nor between respective supporters.

Any updates, please?

[zipsrule]

No score at the half.

[Blue & Gold]

Are we controlling possession? Any SOG’s?

[zipsrule]

Physical game.  Akron did possess quite a bit.  A couple of shots that I can remember but both well above the crossbar.

[TennZip]

7 shots for zips to 0 for BG

only 1 shot on goal

 

zips had heavy wind at their back...

zips needed to score....while they had the wind advantage

 

 

zips had several ong distance straight on shots...but the guys kicked the ball way high

 

wind is super strong.........huge advantage for BG in the 2nd half.......

[zipsrule]

The Zips play to a 0-0 draw.

Zips outshot BG 12-2.

[LoyalZIP]

Had some chances, too bad. 

[TennZip]

zips best chance came at 11:30

Ashton Kamdem hustled like crazy 

ran the ball down before it went out of bounds....

Ashton then made a beautiful cross on the ground into the box....

Kingsford could not get his feet right to do a back foot tap in

 

Johnny Fitzgerald had good game finding space....and possessing the ball

[fknbuflobo]

It was sleeting sideways.

I think the best chance for the Zips came at 10:39 when Johnny Fitzgerald put the ball on frame heading inside the left post and it was saved by a header by #3 Akpunonu.

 

Frustrating the number of chances the Zips had but were unable to finish. I always find it interesting when an attacking player shoots wide or over the net how fans tend to say great shot, it's ok. But, if a defender makes a mistake, they tend to not receive the same easy treatment.

 

Oh well. On to the Cleveland State game in 8 days; then back to the MAC.
