90 minutes each for Matt Dreas. Matthew Paiva, Londen Sears, and Brett Kaminski. 
 

Next up, Akron City hosts Cleveland Force on Wednesday, May 20th at 7 pm at Infocision Stadium Summa Field. 
 

Kam Warnke and Leo Morana play for the Force. I’d love to see at least 6 Zips in this game. (7 Zips would be even better, but Noa Testa is listed among ACFC injured. Unsure when he will be available; thanks Loserville and shite ref who totally let that one go.)

Better than I thought it would be ... especially being on our campus. However, it was nowhere close to our top-notch First Energy Stadium intimate seating, intimidating hill, and soccer-specific grass pitch minus crown.

FE/CC is among the best playing surfaces in the NCAA.  It is also the envy of many MLS franshises.  Infocision may be good enough for lower tiered minor league.  But not good enough for Zips.  Only First Energy stadium/Cub Cadet field is home.
