The Akron Zips finished last season on an 11 game losing streak. Gone are the two leading scorers from that squad, who were also the only two to start every game. I don’t think our decision to rank them number 12 to start the season will send a lot of shock waves throughout the Midwest.
The season is not over before it begins in Akron, however. Jodi Kest is the MAC’s longest tenured head coach and she has brought in an impressive freshman class. 6’4 Sarah Leyendecker led her conference in scoring. Kynnedy Azubike comes from perennial power Afrocentric out of Columbus and Destiny Perkins out of Indianapolis competed in the Indiana All-Star game.
