With the 2016-2017 school year finally underway, there is a sense of excitement here at The University of Akron. One of the main contributors to that excitement is the men’s soccer team, which is looking to bring home the national championship that it nearly captured in December of last year.
Last year’s soccer season ended in absolute heartbreak. Stanford advanced past Akron in the national semi-final game after an epic 10-round penalty kick battle that Stanford won 8-7. Stanford went on to win the national championship, giving the Zips that much more motivation to bring home the College Cup this year.
