Standing ovation for all of the zips players....and the coaching staff

 

Again, tremendous credit to the coaches for moving Malik up to right winger.

Awful weather at the end of the game.....but all of the zips played their butts off.

 

Fantastic soccer played by the zips tonight

 

Beto and Jonas were great in the back....

 

Malik and Emil were both very unselfish on the 2 goals in the 2nd half.

 

Only negative was 5 yellow cards for zip players.   Referee Soren Stojka is legendary for having a short fuse and giving yellow cards for dissent.

 

Great job by the entire soccer team.

Tears of Joy are streaming down my face, down my arms, my legs, my back.  Hell, I’m nearly soaked to the skin.  Actually, it was probably the 30+ minutes of torrential downpour to end the match.  But the smile has yet to leave my face.

 

Well done, boys!

Yeah.  Sadly, they broke decades of tradition, most likely due to inclimate weather and sparse attendance.

 

Also, music and public announcing seemingly cannot grasp how unimportant they are when compared to the team briefly celebrating with the students.  


If folks in the booth do not get it, someone from AD office should get it for them.

Actually, there was an "I believe we will win" chant as the clock was winding down.

Best half of soccer this year.

 

Great move by the coaching staff to move Malik up to right winger.

Malik and Josh are a really good duo on the right side.

 

Emil J......is such a smart player.     He really has good vision.    Emil and Malik are a handful for a team to deal with.

Victor Gaulmin had a super first half as the "6"

 

10-1 in shots and 4-0 in shots on goal

 

Great first half.......would love to see Malik get a goal in the 2nd half.

Are these the adjustments the coaching staff made?   4-0 vs. #13 VCU?!  What an outcome!

We have seen Hardin at RB before, pushing Henry up to R Winger.  This combination has rendered mixed results.  (Full disclosure:  I would not have recommended this combination.)  Clearly, Embick and staff identified something.  Alluding to the obvious, Hardin and Henry appear to be among the swiftest on the team.  But both are smallish.  Against VCU, our right side put continuous pressure on VCU.  It will be interesting to see if this fast but small combination starts Monday versus IU Indy. 

 

Major props go to sophomore Josh Hardin, the diminutive Defender with enormous fighting spirit.  He reminds me of a right-footed Nico De Vera (high praise in my book).
