Akron Tops IPFW, 3-0

Akron,
OH -- Junior forward Sinisa Ubiparipovic scored a pair
of goals, and assisted on another, as the 10th ranked Akron
Zips topped IPFW, 3-0 Sunday in Ohio.
It was the
MAC opener for both squads.
IPFW's defense
was bolstered by the return of sophomore netminder Michael Knitter.
Knitter made five saves in the match.
Ubiparipovic
assisted on Akron's first goal at the 21:18 mark. Pablo Moreira's
roller just got past an outstretched Knitter. The IPFW netminder
got a hand on the ball, but it just broke the plane of the goal
line.
Ubiparipovic
made it 2-0 in the 37th minute, taking advantage of an IPFW
foul, and converting a direct kick from about 18 yards out.
The score
remained 2-0 until late in the match when Ubiparipovic converted
a rebound for his fifth goal of the season.
Akron has
now won six straight games since losing its season opener. IPFW
is still looking for their first win of the season after seven
contests.
The Mastodons
will look to crack the win column on Wednesday (9/20) at Detroit.
