The report gives Akron a 6-1-2 record and Syracuse a 7-3-1 mark. Akron’s 17 goals have been shared among 12 players, with Thomas O’Rourke, Jack Sullivan, Noa Testa and Remi Agunbiade all scoring more than once.
Agunbiade is the most immediate attacking storyline. The report says he scored both goals in Akron’s 2-0 victory over DePaul and was named Big East player of the week.
Syracuse reportedly has 22 goals from 12 scorers, led by Pedro Gulli with four. Bryson Rodriguez has added three goals and two assists, while Landon Darko and Jordan Grey have contributed two goals and two assists each.
The report highlights Akron’s defensive record through goalkeeper Brett Kaminski, who reportedly has 13 saves and five clean sheets. That total is described as the highest in the Big East, giving Akron a clear platform against a Syracuse side with several attacking contributors.
Historically, the report says Akron leads the series 3-1. It also identifies the most recent meeting, in 2018, as an Akron victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. That history should add another layer to a fixture already carrying ranking and postseason implications.
A win would strengthen either team’s résumé, while a defeat could leave less room for error in the remaining schedule. Akron’s distributed scoring and reported defensive consistency face Syracuse’s broader attacking production.
The next storyline is whether Gulli and Syracuse can break through Kaminski’s back line, or whether Akron’s depth again decides a high-value non-conference clash.
