The Akron Zips Men’s Soccer team is heading to its sixth College Cup appearance after toppling defending national champion Stanford in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.
This is a comeback against a team that previously squashed Akron’s championship dreams last season and in 2015.
Akron will travel west to Santa Barbara, Calif. to face Michigan State in the College Cup semifinal on Friday, Dec. 7. The Zips previously beat the Spartans, 2-1, during the regular season.
The Zips, who have maintained a 14-6-2 record thus far, made quick work of their regular season opponents and shut out Western Michigan, 3-0, to clinch its 15th MAC Championship title.
