The zips are joining a very good league. Congratulations to the Creighton Blue Jays for a huge upset of number 2 overall seed. Also, congratulations to Western Michigan. They have now won 2 matches on the road. At Louisville and a 1-0 win today at number 9 seed Lipscomb. Next week, they will travel to Oregon to face 8 seed Oregon State or Portland.

Vermont took down SMU in the Round of 32. UCLA had to then travel to Vermont where the Catamounts whipped them 3-0. in the Sweet 16. Now Vermont faces #3 Syracuse in the Elite 8...winner advances to the College Cup. Portland has to face the winner or #1 Kentucky v unseeded Pitt. Only if Pitt wins will there definitely be an unseeded team from this quadrant into the College Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several examples from European soccer when a team won a trophy and then struggled to earn points the next year. It's some kind of psychological thing, apparently 🙄 Edited December 10, 2022 by ShawnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zips were defeated by both Washington and Seattle 2-0 and 2-1, while the Terps lost @Washington and @Stanford to start the season. Including games vs Virginia and UCLA, Maryland was 0-2-2 over their first four. Similarly, Akron won just 2 of its first seven, going 2-3-2 after leaving Seattle. Goes to show, the start is only as important as the finish to the season, and after losing the B1G title game to Indiana on PKs, they won five NCAA Tournament games and the trophy. UM was the 11 seed? I can't find what if at all was Akron's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our run was similar to that of Pitt thus far. Won 1st round game. Defeated #16 seed Syracuse then #1 seed Wake Forest. However, Zips had to travel to Stanford whereas Pitt will host their Elite 8 match. Edited December 4, 2022 by Zip_ME87 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
