ZippyRulz Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Maybe Stanford (and Cal) should move to the Big East Conference 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted August 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Zips coaching staff deserves a lot of credit. They made some very good in game adjustments. Bringing in Ashton Kamdem to play right back...and moving Malik Henry up the field....was a great in game adjustment. Gyuwon Chong did not start the game but he started the 2nd half. He had a big impact on the game Seth Wilson made an outstanding save with 15 minutes to go in the first half. Malik Henry pass to Dyson Clapier....was very special.... Malik Henry was a key guy to help break the tremendous Vermont pressure in the first half. Zips could not break the pressure on the left side.....but Malik Henry speed and skill opened up the right side for the zips. Zips do have to get better on the left defense back side offensively. Dyson is having to come too far up the field to get the ball. Tremendous credit to Dyson Clapier for being a team player late in the game and coming back to help Will Jackson defend on the left side. Vermont is an outstanding team. They brought great pressure and were good with their passes. Malik Henry is my Man of the Match........but again, I really have to credit the coaching staff for making major changes to the lineup at halftime. With the horrible FloFC camera angles, I could not tell you who was playing where in the midfield for the Zips. I think that Joey Paulus moved at halftime to replace Captain Sammy Tojaga as Holding midfielder. Joey Paulus....has improved tremendously as a ZIP. Excellent team win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Nothing short of an outstanding win. Vermont is the real deal. They make us play to our best or fade away. This was playoff soccer early in the season, which will only make us better and prepared for the BE. Our depth is incredible. That is a credit for the coaches going out and getting it and the players who built this culture that makes top players want to come to Akron. Now please, please share that magic with the other Zip footballers at Temple. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted August 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 1,618 at the game last night.... nice improvement over the 1,174 at home opener.. article in the Beacon https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/zips/2023/08/29/ncaa-mens-soccer-university-of-akron-zips-vermont-dyson-clapier-malik-henry-coach-jared-embick-ohio/70705278007/ "This is a very good win," Akron coach Jared Embick said. "Vermont has got the belief and experience back from the Elite Eight, and you could feel that I think in the start. The start of the game for us, we were probably a little too tense and then we got a little better as the half went on. Said Clapier: "This shows that we can compete with anyone in the nation. This is a signature win against a top 10 opponent. Vermont is a heck of a team." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Huge win - makes me happy to see the Big East by the Akron name - with two other ranked teams in our conference. Can't wait for the conference season to start to see what we really have. Glad the MAC fell apart and we landed here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 To whomever made the decision to turn down the music/announcements for the post-match "I believe" chant: Thank You! Very Much! Video from last night's post-match "I believe" celebration is not yet available. But it was a good one. Student attendance vs. Vermont was as good as we have seen in recent memory. Instead, here is video from a few years ago, after an NCAA Tournament victory (remember those?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
