Goalkeeper

An imposing presence, the 6-foot-3, 200 pound Kyle Milligan had the size and range desired for a goalkeeper.

18963

As a result, during his four years as The University of Akron’s netminder (1998-01) he became the top ‘keeper in the Mid-American Conference.

As a freshman, he started in all 21 matches during the Zips’ 17-3-1 season in which it captured the MAC’s regular-season and tournament championships, and competed in the NCAA Tournament. That year, he tallied eight shutouts and over a span of eight contests allowed just one score. Those numbers earned him All-MAC Second Team honors.

He went on to be selected first-team All-MAC during each of the next three seasons as he helped the Zips to league regular-season titles in 1999 and 2000, and to another NCAA Tournament appearance in 2001.

Milligan was a third-team All-American as a senior in 2001, a three-time first-team All-Ohio selection in 1999-01 and an All-Great Lakes Region pick in 1999 and 2001.
He ranks third in program history in wins (44) and his .691 win percentage (44-15-6) is seventh best. His 24.5 career shutouts is tied for fourth best in school history, while his 0.97 goals-against average is listed seventh.
