    • In case anyone has an interest in collegiate soccer...

    University of Akron is ranked #1 in all 5 collegiate rating polls and have been in most polls since day one.
    They are 14-0 with 10 shutouts...
    They have defeated a number of ranked opponents
    including three Big 10 schools... Indiana, OSU and yesterday Michigan

    They also landed the #1 rated 2009 recruiting class that are now freshmen with at least 8 Parade All Americans... so the next few years looks just as promising. They lost their All American goalie to graduation and this years goalie is a Freshman. He gets little action because most opponenets get very few shots on goal - phenomenal defense.

    Nittany Lions unable to roar against Zips soccer team By Michael Beaven

    The University of Akron men's soccer team easily secured its 16th win of the season Wednesday night.
    The only question was whether sophomore forward Teal Bunbury would finish with a hat trick.
    Bunbury came up just short, but scored two goals in a 3-0 Zips triumph over visiting Penn State at Lee Jackson Field.
    The Zips, the No. 1 team in the country in all five national polls, improved their record to 16-0-0. The Nittany Lions dropped to 9-5-2.
    ...UA shut out its 13th opponent of the season. Freshman goalkeeper David Meves earned his 11th shutout ...
    UA has outscored opponents 45-3 this season and has a 4-0 record against Big Ten opponents. The Zips have outscored their four Big Ten foes - Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State - 12-1.
    The Zips' next game is 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Lee Jackson Field against Michigan State.

    College soccer: Akron 2, Michigan State 1
    Penalty kick helps Zips stay unbeaten
    Goal by Gavin breaks tie, gives top-ranked UA win over Spartans
    By Michael Beaven
    Special to the Beacon Journal

    The top-ranked Zips were able to respond to Michigan State's challenge and come away with a 2-1 victory at Lee Jackson Field. Junior Blair Gavin scored a goal off of a penalty kick with 15:24 remaining in the game to break a 1-1 tie and help the Zips keep their perfect season going.

    The Zips (17-0-0) are the No. 1 team in the country in all five national polls.

    That Spartans (10-5-2) goal was the first the Zips have allowed at home this season.

    The Zips held an advantage in shots (16-6), shots on goal (8-2) and corner kicks (3-1).

    No. 1 Zips finish season perfect By Beacon Journal staff report
    POSTED: 11:28 p.m. EST, Nov 07, 2009
    Trailing 2-1 at halftime, the Zips rallied for two goals late in the second half as the No. 1 ranked team in the country completed a perfect season (18-0) on Senior Night before 2,158 at Lee Jackson Field.

    It is the second time that the soccer program has had a perfect season. The last time was in 1968, when the Zips went 11-0.
