The 2010 men's college soccer season kicked off on Wednesday night with several top teams in
action, and if last night's results are any indication, this season will be an unpredictable
one.
Six teams ranked in Soccer America's Top 25 were in action on Wednesday, and four of them lost.
Highly-regarded UCSB fell in overtime to Cal State-Bakersfield, while Stanford lost to Vermont,
also in overtime.

There were several shakeups in the NSCAA/HendrickCars.com Top 25 this week, but one thing
remains constant: The Akron Zips have received every first-place vote since the Week 1 poll, and
they don't look to be relinquishing the top spot anytime soon after winning their first five games
by a combined score of 11-0.
The top-two schools in the nation will face-off this weekend when No. 2 Tulsa travels to take on
No. 1 Akron this Friday. Tulsa's offense, which has scored 18 goals through six games, will look to
break down an Akron defense which has yet to concede a goal in 2010. If the Golden Hurricanes are
going to pull off the upset they'll have to find a way to stop Darlington Nagbe, who has three
goals through the first six matches.
