Penalty kicks sank the Zips once again as Akron bows out of the NCAA College Cup in the semifinal round after losing to Stanford in 10 rounds of PKs.
It had to be penalty kicks, didn't it?
After losing in a tense penalty shootout in the first round of the College Cup to Ohio State last season, the last thing Zips fans wanted to see was Akron head back to PKs. But that is exactly what the fans got Friday at Sporting Park and a 8-7 loss in the national semifinal seemed to be well deserved by the Fighting Jordan Morrises *ahem* the Stanford Cardinal.
