TennZip Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 The zips have won 7 games in a row Akron has the leading goal scorer in the country. Emil has 16 goals. #2 in the country has 13 goals. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/soccer-men/d1 For my money, Mitch Budler has been the best GK in the Big East. He stood on his head repeatedly to help the zips get wins against Georgetown and Xavier. Beto Ydrach and Jonas Buechte , in my somewhat biased opinion, are the best CB duo in the Big East. Akron is playing as a team.....and is playing good soccer. The zips are ranked #18 by Top drawer soccer the zips are ranked #24 by the United Soccer coaches. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ at the beginning of this week, the zips were #37 in RPI. Typically, only the top 40 or top 41 get into the NCAA if they don't win the conference. The zips must get wins at home on Wednesday night and on the road at Marquette. A loss to either would be absolutely devastating for RPI and would almost ensure that they would have to win the Big East Tournament in Boyds, MD. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/ncaa-mens-soccer-rpi This is an absolutely monster game for the zips. The weather is supposed to be perfect. 75 degrees during the day...62 degrees at 7 pm ...57 degrees at 9 pm I sure hope that the SID and the marketing department are posting signs all over campus....trying to get students to attend the game. The guardians season is over. I hope that the crowd on Wednesday night.....will be good. Sadly, I must ask......our attendance experts...... and @zippy-claws, and @fknbuflobo over or under 1,000 ???? go, Zips !!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 I will take the over 1,000 on this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy-claws Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 I'm agreeing with @fknbuflobo on this one. I'm saying 1,250-ish! I did get notices from Akron that there's a sale on GA tickets for the game. But student participation is a must! I never did hear any more about the rumored end of the AK Rowdies. Anyone know anything? How wonderful to have the hill full of students for this one. Please!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted October 24 Author Report Share Posted October 24 Matt Dreas had a very nice first half. He and Victor Gaulmin did well stepping into passing lanes. Creighton controlled the ball for the first 10 minutes...but Akron midfielders stepped up and helped Akron get a better portion of possession. I am always nervous when I see that Chico Grajeda is the head referee. He always gives a lot of yellows when players talk back(dissent). Zips have been well coached and are not arguing with Grajeda.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 This team is quickly rounding into form. Whatever Embick and co. told the guys - it's working. Unbelievable second half of the season so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
