Can the 2009 Akron Zips be even better than the team that produced the number one pick in the MLS Superdraft?
It’s hard to imagine that a team losing players of the caliber of Steve Zakuani, Matt Tutich and Evan Bush could have even a remote chance of being better the following season. For most, it would probably be true, but not for Akron.
The team that finished 17-2-4 and participated in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen , returns 8 starters and is adding a wealth of talent in a stellar recruiting class. Coach Caleb Porter and his staff deserve enthusiastic praise for their hard work this offseason.
Akron U is certainly in a position to make a run at a national title next season.
Key Returning Starters:
Teal Bunbury – Forward
Ben Zemanski- Midfielder
Anthony Ampaipitakwong- Midfielder
