I watched the Crew playoff game at a microbrewery outside Columbus with a friend whose daughter plays for OP (Ohio Premier). OP is the best club side in central Ohio for women. They are one of five Ohio clubs that play in the ECNL (Elite Club National League). She said Jen has signed four girls off of this season's OP team. In her opinion they are better than the talent UA has signed in the past. She also said Vakos is the real deal and undoubtedly the best GK in Ohio. Jen could be on the cusp of turning this around.

💪💪😎💪💪 SWEEEEEEET!!   (Out of reactions for the day.)

Agreed.  Cautiously optimistic and it is a great job on keeping the fans informed.  Nice job, and I am looking forward to seeing it come together for 2024 and beyond.  Coach is putting a lot of new pieces in place, now she and her crew need to mold and shape them to what they envision for the team.

club team in FC Alliance in the ECNL

played high school ball for Webb School in Knoxville, TN

 

the 2nd link below...showed that the zip recruit had 13 goals and 2 assists in games played thru September 20 of this year

Eesha Sutharshan, Knoxville Webb: Sutharshan, an Akron commit, has 13 goals and two assists. 

 

3rd link shows that Eesha was selected to the All Region team

   Eesha was also invited to play in The Tennessee all star soccer game.   You can see from Eesha's tweet below that she had a goal an assist in the all star game

I really want to thank Akron Zips women's soccer....for publicizing all of their new recruits that signed on signing day (November 8th)

 

Publicizing the signees...is a great way to keep the fan base interested during the off season

 

I believe that this is another new signee...that we have not seen....

 

Elisabeth Rupp plays for the Minnesota Thunder in the prestigious ECNL.  The 2nd link says that Ms. Rupp started every game in her 4 year high school career for Eden Prairie, MN.

Rupp, who has started every game during her four-year varsity career, has more options to move up into the play in her senior year. Always a force on offense with her throw-ins and corner kicks, she is making more runs from the back this season.

“It is fun to get up in the field this year,” she said. But Rupp’s first priority is still defense.

“We know how to shut them down,” she said.

Soccer wire......shows that the lady zips have added another recruit for 2025

Olivia is from the state of New York.

 

for the true soccer purists on the board (hmmmm....could that apply to someone whose monitor ends in Buflobo?), Olivia is kind enough to list the soccer numbered positions that she can play.
