Akron, Ohio – For the third year in a row, Akron Men's Soccer is partnering with Prime 93 to host a Cigar and Cognac Experience for alumni and supporters. This year's event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 19, following the Zips' exhibition game against Loyola (MD.). The match kicks off at 4:00 p.m. and doors for the Cigar and Cognac Experience open at 7:00 p.m.
This is a great opportunity to get ready for the upcoming season, as the team begins its campaign for their 14th consecutive Mid-American Conference Championship and looks to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament and earn the program's second star. Join Prime 93 and the Akron soccer coaching staff to learn about select pairings, listen to forecasts for the 2017 season, and enjoy the company of fellow Akron soccer fans.
RSVP's can be made online at GoZips.com/Zfund/Events or by contacting Jami Shimada, Athletics Development Coordinator, at jms588@zips.uakron.edu or 330-972-7142. Cost for the Cigar and Cognac Experience is $100 per person with proceeds benefiting the Akron Men's Soccer program.
Limited Reserved Bleacher Back ($110) and General Admission ($60) season tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by logging on to GoZips.com/tickets, calling 1-888-99-AKRON (25766) or visiting The C.P. and Cornelia S.

Union streets) Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Discounted general admission season tickets for Akron faculty/staff are also available for $48 and must be purchased in person or on the phone. Additionally, general admission family plans ($200), which include a combination of two adult and two youth tickets or one adult and three youth tickets, are available for the fall at this time.
Individual single-game tickets for all of Akron's home matches are now on sale.
As another option, all Akron Alumni are eligible to purchase the Alumni all-sport season-ticket package for $175, which includes general admission season tickets for men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, and a reserved seat for football.
