AKRON, Ohio — The Akron men's soccer team will travel west to Milwaukee to face Marquette in their regular season finale on Friday, November 6 at 7 p.m. eastern time.
The Zips (10-1-4) head into the match winners of three straight matches and into the top-five rankings in all three national polls for the first time all season. Akron beat Villanova, 5-0, on Halloween which marked the most goals they have ever scored in a BIG EAST contest. Matthew Paiva and Brett Kaminski were named BIG EAST Defensive Player and Goalkeeper of the Week, respectively, for their efforts in the clean sheet.
Marquette (10-5-1) has won its most matches since 2013 and are fresh off a comeback, 2-1 victory at St. John's. With two five-point performances in the last four matches, Mads Konrad Horgoien (21) joined Tomiwa Adewumi (23) with 20-plus points. It is the first time since 1996 that two Golden Eagles have reached the the 20-point mark in the same season.
Both teams are vying for the final three bids to next week's BIG EAST Tournament, as Georgetown has already clinched the No. 1 seed.
Akron is meeting Marquette for the 17th time in team history and hold a 10-1-5 advantage all-time against the Golden Eagles. Their lone loss was in 2013 during the NCAA Tournament.
