Playing in a suspect conference, Akron knows any loss could prevent a good seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Zips made their first step against No. 10 New Mexico tonight, winning 3-1 in the opening night of the Westfield Insurance Cup.
Anthony Ampaipitakwong, Elliott Bradbrook and Ivan Sandoval scored against the Lobos’ goaltender Mike Graczyk, a preseason All-American.
The Zips will play Alabama-Birmingham Sunday at 5 p.m.

I thought it was strange when the Zips were not ranked this year. I think it really is because we are in the MAC. This conference has to turn itself around. Commish Rick Chryst is rumored to be leaving for the Big 12, and it could be the start of a new era of being respected. One can hope.

The third Akron goal was scored by Stefan Ostergren. The story on the Akron website initially had the wrong name.

Ah. Thanks!
UAkid, where did you hear about Chryst leaving?
