College Round-up: Akron routs Tulsa, UCSB tops UCLA, and more

Ncaatab

If there was any doubt about who is the best team in the country, No. 1 Akron removed it with a 4-0 dismantling of No. 2 Tulsa on Friday evening. The Zips again held their opposition scoreless, their 11th straight game with a shutout dating back to last season.

It didn't take long for Akron to go ahead. Kofie Sarkodie's shot was deflected past Ray Clark in the ninth minute. Four minutes later, Perry Kitchen put home a close-range shot after a scramble in front of goal. Darren Mattocks and Anthony Ampaipitakwong each scored second-half goals.

The clash between the top two teams in the country was attended by 4,744 fans, a record for an Akron soccer game.

UC-Santa Barbara defeated No. 13 UCLA 2-0 in front of a record crowd of 15,896 at Harder Stadium on Friday night. The crowd had to wait until the 75th minute for the breakthrough but David Opoku put home a rebound off a Santa Barbara corner. Luis Silva added an insurance goal in the last minute of regulation by slotting a cool finish past Brian Rowe.

Friday also saw a couple of high-profile ACC matchups. No. 3 North Carolina topped No. 5 Maryland 2-1 with a couple of goals from Michael Farfan. Matt Kassel brought one back for the Terrapins but they couldn't find an equalizer. Elsewhere, No. 11 Duke defeated No. 11 Boston College 1-0 thanks to Christopher Tweed-Kent, who notched his first goal of the season with a game-winner seven minutes from time.

On Saturday, Loyola (MD) handed No. 4 Monmouth their first defeat of the season, topping the Hawks 2-0. Loyola took the lead just before halftime with a Gary Weisbum goal. The lead was doubled seven minutes after the restart off a Phil Bannister header.
