Wake had a down year last season (missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010) but still are one of the more successful programs in recent decades with 6 College Cup appearances in the last 20 years. Plus, they play in the best (in my opinion) conference in college soccer. Should be a good challenge for our Zips tonight.

(From their website) 

From 2015-25, Wake Forest has: 

  • Collected the most overall wins in NCAA Division I men’s soccer (159)
  • Collected the most home wins in NCAA Division I men’s soccer (117)
  • Collected the most regular season ACC wins (58)

This was just posted but when I look at the ticket map, it looks pretty normal to me. I understand trying to create urgency but it's obviously manufactured.

 

 

 

 

Could be a large GA/lawn crowd?

Big one tonight. While unranked, Wake Forest is one of those "it" schools (in soccer) that are circled on the calendar no matter what their ranking is. This will be a great measuring stick to see where this year's Zips squad is truly at.

Could be. Reserved seats are starting to fill in some now that I take a 2nd look at the map today. I'd think it will be bigger than the first two crowds, at least in terms of paid tickets. There was a good student showing against Dayton which might not be matched tonight.

Sadly, seats bought today are just as likely to be WF fans.  They travel well.

Gotta figure out who is going to put the ball in the back of the net on this team.

 

Also, can a more experienced soccer fan explain why teams don't do a soft pass to an unmarked teammate to rip it on net for free kicks? Blasting balls way over the goal from the top of the box isn't fun.

Please keep updates coming 🙏

 

Nothing much to report. Dominant attack by Akron that simply hasn't found the back of the net. Hit a post on one attempt and the goalie made 2 nice saves on another attempt. 

 

1 SOG all game for Wake.

 

10 minutes to play.

Akron clearly was the better team.

The players battled for every loose ball.

I thought that Tyler Morck had a very strong game.

Farrell Ngongang really battled in the box and cleared a lot of open space for his teammates.

 

3 straight shutouts for the back 4 and Brett.

 

The ZIPs should be very proud of the effort and the execution tonight.
