October 10 | Men's Soccer
AKRON, Ohio — The No. 12-ranked Akron men's soccer team will take on No. 6-ranked Creighton on Sunday, October 10 at 6 p.m. from FirstEnergy Stadium.
Prior to the match, the Zips will celebrate Senior Night, as Freddy Kossehasse, Matthew Paiva, Francisco Tolaba and Matt Dreas will be honored for their contributions to the program.
The Zips (7-1-2) are coming off a thrilling 2-1 victory over No. 25-ranked Syracuse. Reigning BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week Remi Agunbiade notched the game-winner and has scored three of the past four goals for the team.
This will be the Zips' fourth ranked match of the season, having faced Cornell, Georgetown and Syracuse in those matches.
The Bluejays (10-0-3) enter the matchup as one of only two Division I soccer teams to have 10 or more wins on the season. However, the Zips will be their first ranked opponent that they have faced all year long. Creighton boasts a high-powered offense, leading Division I in goals (40), assists (44) and points (124). Matthew Reed leads the Bluejays with 10 goals.
Akron leads the series, 5-2-2, and have never lost to Creighton at home in five tries. However, the Bluejays are 4-0-0 on the road this season and have outscored their opponents, 13-4, in such matches.
