I hope that Zips Men's Soccer alumni players as well as the coaches instill in our players to not take SLU for granted even though the first meeting was a lopsided 3-0 result. SLU is doing as needed to survive and advance on the road. Danger! Beware!

late night drama seems likely???   Did the writer not notice that the game will start at 1 pm?

No. 4 Akron  (13-4-3) vs. No. 5 Saint Louis  (12-2-8) - Saturday, December 6th, 1 PM Eastern

Akron may be at home against a Saint Louis squad they beat 3-0 in the regular season, but the Zips remain wary. The Billikens, after all, are the toughest out in the country, surviving overtime, upsetting Indiana, and most recently advancing on penalties in the Sweet Sixteen. With 18 of their 22 games decided by a goal or less, another late-night drama seems likely.

Yeah.  During December, it gets dark early afternoon… in Alaska.

My guess is the lights will be on.

Or maybe the Billikens' luck has run out, and they don't have their mojo against the Zips (again)?!
