csims0917 Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hi everyone! Ive been on this forum before in the football, basketball, and baseball section. I’m not a big soccer person at all. It’s cool seeing the soccer team join the Big East and I heard nearly all the starters are back. Let me know what I should be excited about and what expectations to have for this team explained in a way a soccer noob would understand.

72 Roo Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 There are others on this site that can do better than me, but for starters we have a hell of a recruiting class coming in. They will join the returning starters who are first rate across the board. We are healthy and have Gyuwon Chong back. He is one of the most dynamic, play-making attacking midfielders you will see this season. Our forwards are fast and proven scorers. Our D has no weakness in Sangwa, Kamdem, Jackson and Henry. They protect a goal manned by Mitch Butler, who is the best goalie we have had in years. Our coaching staff is in my opinion the best in the league. Add our tradition and gameday atmosphere, which brings a lot of recruits to UA, and you have lot to be excited about. This team is for real. See you at the pitch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I can't say enough how excited I am to see and support our talented players who are so proud to be Zips, showing that pride on and off the field. We have a fantastic trio of leaders as our captains, D Will Jackson, MF Sammy Tojaga, and MF Josef Paulus, who also represented Akron with Akron City FC this summer. Looking forward to seeing all of our returning players and our incoming recruits in Big East action. Besides our Big East opponents, we face some outstanding teams in out of conference action...Vermont, Florida International, and Notre Dame visit Akron and we play at Michigan. Let's Go Zips!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
