Obviously Zips receive #1 seed in NCAA tourney. They have beaten 6 of the teams that made the tournament. They earn a bye in round one.

Hopefully, our Buckeyes can meet up with the Zippers:blush: and show them what they can do in the NCAA tournament. Regular-season doesn't come:shake:

We saw them play in the MAC championship. The opponent, Hartwick, was much bigger and a very physical team. However, Akron just toyed with them in the second half and never let them have the ball. I am hoping to make it to this Sunday's game as well.

Goalkeeper David Meves and defender Zarek Valentin were named to the All-Freshman Team. Both Bunbury and Ampaipitakwong are semifinalists for the prestigious 2009 Hermann Trophy.

The Zips lost to Virginia in the Championship game on penalty kicks.

They were down 3-1 after 3 rounds of the shootout, got a stop, a goal, and another stop. Then in the bottom of the 5th frame, when a goal would extend the shootout into a round-by-round scenario, their guy kicked it over the crossbar. Virginia celebrated while the young guy lay on the ground - a crushing result.

For Mr. Akron soccer

AKRON, Ohio ? The Akron Zips put their consensus No. 1 soccer ranking on the line Friday night against No. 2 Tulsa and showed once again that all accolades are justified. So dominant was the Zips' 4-0 victory over the Golden Hurricane that -- save for several shots on goal -- an Akron crowd that was boisterous to begin the game became amazingly quiet most of the second half. Perhaps even the Zips are stunned by their overpowering play. President
The Zips (6-0) have defeated teams ranked No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 in the nation by a combined score of 9-0, two of the wins coming on the road, then Tulsa (6-1) before a record 4,744 fans at Lee Jackson Field.

Bring it on Zippers :biggrin2:

To Ohio State football fans, Akron is the unfortunate team that comes to Columbus every so often for a beat-down in exchange for a sizable check.
In college athletics, the Zips are a mid-major, and such teams usually can't match up with the big boys.

When it comes to men's soccer, though, Akron rules.

The Zips are ranked No.1 in the nation as they prepare to face the Buckeyes tonight in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Ohio State, ranked 23 {+r}{+d} and with six NCAA Tournament appearances, including a runner-up finish in 2007, is no slouch. But the Buckeyes are the underdogs tonight.
