The 16-1-1 #2 men's soccer team (man, that's disappointing to say) needed Michael Nanchoff's 80th minute penalty kick to defeat Hartwick (the 2-14-1 Hartwick Hawks!) 2-1 on Saturday. I'm not sure what's going on with the soccer team, but this is not the same team that scored a touchdown against Michigan. Hartwick is 2-14-1. And the Zips only outshot them 12-9.
The MAC tournament begins Friday, and Akron (obviously) has the #1 seed. We'll be playing Buffalo at 5pm. If the team becomes complacent like they seem to have been lately, we could see some serious trouble.
Volleyball:
The lady Zips won a 5-set scare over Kent State, but fell in four sets to Ohio the next day, falling to 15-11 (7-7 MAC), one game behind Ohio. MAC East play ends on Thursday, with a home matchup against 16-14 (4-10 MAC) Buffalo.
Football:
What. The. Heck. This year couldn't get worse. In fact, the team name "Zips" fits very well with that number in the win column. If you haven't seen, the Zips lost in double overtime 37-30 to Ball State on Saturday. This was our best chance to avoid a winless season, and pretty much fully explains how this entire season has gone.
But here's the best part: Do you want to know why the game went into overtime? The Ever Dependable Igor Iveljic. That's right. He missed an extra point.
On the bright side, this above-average offensive showing allows me to stop posting Zack Campbell's stats every week. But just for fun:
Zack Campbell-8 punts, 277 YDS
Alex Allen had a heck of a game, carrying the ball 25 times for 165 yards, but all of the touchdowns went to Patrick "Throws-the-ball-not-so" Nicely and the receiving corps.
Jalil Carter-6 REC, 69 YDS, TD
Alex Allen-5 REC, 29 YDS
Jeremy LaFrance-3 REC, 46 YDS, 2 TD
Anthony Meriweather-2 REC, 17 YDS
Richard Hall-2 REC, 17 YDS, TD
Patrick Nicely negated his best game of the year by throwing three interceptions. Wow, that guy has been awful this year.
Also on the bright side, the team gets to close out the season with two televised home games against Miami (OH) (5-4) and Buffalo (2-7).
UPDATE: Added a poll to the side bar. Let's see what you guys think.
