LollaÆs Zips on a roll

No. 2 Akron became the first NCAA Division I menÆs team to win 10 games when it beat Penn State, 2-1, Monday night.

Just as it was in their 3-0 win over another Big Ten power, Ohio State, on Friday night, the Zips were outshot by Penn State (9-4) but did enough to win.

''We feel good about winning,'' said Akron coach Ken Lolla after the game, ''but we still have a long way to go.''

Lolla, the former Duke star who also coaches the U.S. under-15 boys national team, has led the Zips to four straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament. He isnÆt able to recruit many of the players whom he works with in the national team program, so he depends heavily on Ohio products, transfers and imports.

New Zealander Ross McKenzie scored his ninth goal of the season in the win over Penn State, surpassing his previous high of eight last season in his junior year. Junior Sinisia Ubiparipovic (eight goals and five assists) is enjoying his best season since transferring from UIC after his freshman year. Geir Nyheim, who has seven goals in only nine goals, and fellow freshmen Ossie Michalsen and Christian Gaustad continue a long line of Norwegians who have starred at Akron.

CLASS BREAKDOWN: 4 juniors, 3 freshmen, 2 seniors, 2 sophomores (starters vs. Penn State, 10/3).

GEOGRAPHIC MAKEUP: Ohio (6), Norway (2), Arizona (1), France (1), New Zealand (1).

Marquette makes most of chances

If its 11-1-1 start wasnÆt enough to get attention, MarquetteÆs 4-1 victory over defending champion Notre Dame certainly did.

The Golden Eagles moved up 12 spots to sixth in the country, their highest ranking ever in the SOCCER AMERICA Top 25.

With eight upperclassman starters, experience has been key for Marquette. Even before the season started, Coach Markus Roeders felt this yearÆs Golden Eagles could be great.

''This team reminds me a lot of good teams of the past,'' he said in preseason, ''when we had success û 1999, 2000 and 2002 û when we were successful with older players.''

The win over Notre Dame was a perfect example. Marquette fell behind in the 21st minute but didnÆt panic. The Golden Eagles got the goal from Meghan Connolly four minutes later and a pair of goals from sub Alison Loughrin late in the first half.

''What made us believe tonight was that tying goal by Meghan,'' said Roeders. ''And then when we struck again, we were rolling.''

Julie Thompson completed the scoring in the second half, giving Marquette four goals on four shots on goal.

Scoring has come at a premium. The first six wins were all by one goal û three came on golden goals û and the Notre Dame game marked only the second time Marquette had scored as many as four goals.

CLASS BREAKDOWN: 5 seniors, 3 juniors, 2 sophomores, 1 freshman (starters vs. Notre Dame, 9/30).

GEOGRAPHIC MAKEUP: Illinois (4), Wisconsin (2), Kansas 91), Minnesota (1), Missouri (1), North Carolina (1), Ohio (1).

Big West players in the news

KAREN BARDSLEY (Cal State Fullerton, Jr.). Became TitansÆ all-time winningest goalie (25 wins) last week.

KRISTY KROHN (Cal State Northridge, Soph.). Has scored in four straight games, tying the Matador season record with eight goals.

RENEE SCACHETTI (UC Riverside, Sr.). Has already broken Highlander record for most goals (9) and points (22) in a season.

KIM SILOS (Long Beach State, Fr.). Ontario, Calif., product heads the 49ersÆ outstanding freshman class.

SIERRA SIMMONS (Cal Poly, Sr.). Two-time Big West Defensive Player of the Year anchors Mustang backline.

Bornstein breaks out

Jonathan Bornstein wasnÆt one of the hotshot UCLA recruits who played in the U.S. national youth team program.

He arrived in Westwood last fall after two years at Cal Poly Pomona. It was an adjustment from the D2 ranks, where he led Cal Poly Pomona in scoring both seasons, to D1.

But after scoring only one goal and one assist in 2004, Bornstein has emerged as a key contributor for the Bruins this fall. HeÆs started all eight games and is second in scoring with four goals and one assist.

Like teammates Patrick Ianni, Marvell Wynne, Greg Folk, Jason Leopoldo and Sal Zizzo, who starred on U.S. national youth teams, Bornstein got to represent the USA abroad over the summer.

He helped the USA win the silver medal at the Maccabiah Games and scored two goals in the quarterfinal win over South Africa.

The imposing Monarch

There are many reasons for No. 7 Old DominionÆs fast start.

One of them is the play of giant Cameroonian William Yomby in the back.

The 24-year-old Yomby stands 6-foot-4 and has been an imposing presence in his first season on the ODO backline that has posted four straight shutouts and limited opponents to six goals in nine games.

Yomby, whose older brother has played professionally in Uruguay, injured his hand in the 2-1 loss to North Carolina but played against Virginia with a large cast on it. The Monarchs beat UVa, 3-0. In his next game, a 3-0 victory over Davidson, Yomby scored his first collegiate goal.

Yomby, who is listed as a sophomore, previously played for Dschang University, leading it to the University Games title in Cameroon.
