The University of Akron Athletics
Special Events Planned for Soccer's Final Homestand
November 03 | Men's Soccer
The No. 1 University of Akron men's soccer team will close out
the regular season at home this week with a pair special events at
Lee Jackson Field.
For Wednesday night's game against Big Ten Conference foe Michigan
State (10-4-2), which starts at 7:30 p.m., fans are encouraged to
bring a used soccer ball to donate to underprivileged children as
part of "Kick It Forward Night." At halftime, all
fans who bring a soccer ball will be invited to sign and toss it
onto the field. Any fan who successfully tosses their ball into the
center circle will win a free Akron men's soccer T-shirt.
Fans without soccer balls may also donate $5 to receive one to toss
at the marketing table just inside the southeast gate at Lee
Jackson Field.
The Zips will then honor their four seniors prior to the final home
game of the regular season Saturday night when Hartwick (8-2-4,
3-0-2 MAC) comes to town for a 7:30 p.m. kick off. Come early to
help the UA Athletics Department recognize seniors C.J.
Kaufman, Stefan Ostergren, Ivan
Sandoval and team co-captain Ben Zemanski for their
countless contributions to the men's soccer program.
Tickets for both games are available and may be purchased in
advance by calling 1-888-99-AKRON.
