Zip_ME87 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Congratulations to former Zips Ryan Kingsford (Loyola Marymount), Nick Scott (Charlotte), and Ryan Combe (Vermont) whose teams all advanced to the 2nd round of the 2023 NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Really rough year for Big East soccer. Only 2 teams got into the NCAA tournament. Xavier lost the first night 2-0 to 7-7-4 Kentucky. Today, number 4 overall seed Georgetown lost their first game 1-0 to James Madison. Credit to NCAA selection committee. James Madison was the only team that was below the RPI cut line...that got into the tournament. James Madison went on the road and beat Pitt 3-2 on Thursday night. James Madison, 3 days later, goes on the road again and knocks the number 4 seed out of the tournament. Congratulations to the top seed Marshall Thundering Herd. They advance to the round of 16 with a 3-0 win over Cal Baptist. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Like all zips fans, I am very glad that the zips are in the Big East. Like all Zips fans, I did not like the brand of soccer that was played by Western Michigan and other teams in the Mid American Conference. However, Western Michjigan deserves tremendous credit for their success in the past 2 years in NCAA tournament soccer. Last year, Western Michigan won 2 NCAA tournament games and advanced to the sweet sixteen. Thursday night, Western Michigan's Charlie Sharp scored 3 goals and led the Broncons to a 3-0 win over Wisconsin Green Bay Today, Western Michigan went on the road and had to play 110 minutes at #15 seed Duke. Western Michigan has now won 4 NCAA tournament games in the past 2 years as they defeat the Dukies 2-1. Charlie Sharp now has 4 NCAA tournament goals this year. Western Michigan will face the winner of #2 seed Notre Dame vs. Kentucky in the round of 16. I would think that Western Michigan would host if Kentucky is able to upset the fighting Irish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted November 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Happy to see former Zip Ryan Kingsford getting to the Round of 16 with his team, Loyola Marymount, after upsetting #13 seed UCLA. LMU hosts JMU, who upset #4 seed Georgetown as @TennZip previously mentioned. Also happy to see former Zip Ryan Combe get to the Round of 16 with his team, the Vermont Catamounts, who upset #12 seed UCF. Unfortunately, I don't think Ryan has played any minutes in †his NCAAT. Vermont travels to Morgantown to face #5 seed WVU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Congratulations again to former Zip Ryan Kingsford. Kingsford had the game winning goal tonight for Loyola Marymount. Last weekend, James Madison upset #4 overall seed Georgetown in the round of 32. Tonight, Ryan Kingsford scored a goal for the Loyola Marymount Lions at 67 minutes and Loyola Marymount defeated James Madison 1-0. Loyola Marymount has now advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals and will travel next week to battle #5 overall seed West Virginia. Ryan played for the zips in 2021 and 2022 and the zips were not able to win an NCAA tournament game in either year. I will be rooting next weekend for Ryan and his LMU team mates to win their 4th NCAA tournament game this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted November 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Ryan Kingsford is a great player and a tremendous guy. Sad for us that he transferred, but it seems to be working out for him. Happy to see him doing well and I also hope to see LMU advance to the 2023 College Cup. It's a tough road, but it can be done as we saw our 2018 Zips do. Coaching and mentality. Humility and confidence; not arrogance and cockiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
