TennZip Posted August 23, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2024 https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=53699&articleTitle=mens-college-takeaways-from-opening-day Akron Resurgence Akron has been a sleeping giant of sorts in recent years. The four-time national finalists have qualified for the NCAA tournament just twice since reaching the College Cup final in 2018. There was renewed excitement this season brought on by the combination of talented returners with several eye-catching transfers. A 1-1 tie with No. 2 Notre Dame away from home adds to the hope that the Zips are back to claim their position among the elite. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC ZIP Posted August 23, 2024 Report Share Posted August 23, 2024 Good, early season road result. Several Zips made their debuts and were quite good. These Zips can be dangerous if they can gel together. The depth will be important as well over a long season and manage the physical toll, so it was encouraging to see several new, and/or young players show up! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a quick count, Zips utilized 17 players @ ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted August 23, 2024 Report Share Posted August 23, 2024 (edited) That was a fun, entertaining match. Without personally having an ability to meaningfully analyze any soccer x's & o's, I simply thought it looked like the Zips got a little pissed off after ND was awarded the penalty kick & played more aggressively from that point onward, controlling most of the rest of the match. I hope they retain that fire & want to shove it down opponents throats the rest of the season.
