Today at 1PM, the Akron Zips will face the Cavaliers from the University of Virginia for the NCAA men's national championship. The match is being played in Cary, NC and will be aired on ESPN2 and ESPN360.com.
It seems as though whoever ranked the teams prior to the tournament did a good job. Undefeated Akron (23-0-1) is the #1 ranked team and UVA (18-3-3) holds the #2 position. The Zips are going for their first national title while UVA is trying for its 6th (last title won in 1994).
While I'm a bit partial to my alma mater in UVA, I think it should be a good game. UVA is on a 15 game win streak while Akron has been playing well also. Both teams did face tough tests in the semifinals with UVA beating Wake Forest in OT and Akron defeating UNC in penalty kicks. Hopefully this game will be decided in regulation and not go to penalties.
Go Hoos!

clearly UVA was going to win because akron's mascot is a kangaroo. how lame.
yet they are called the "zips". I don't see the connection with the name.
