Zips Football Lead the Mid-American Conference After Sunday’s Win Against WMU

The University of Akron football team solidified their place as the Mid-American Conference leaders after a close win against the Western Michigan Broncos this weekend.

The Broncos homecoming game was postponed to Sunday after heavy rainfall flooded the field at Waldo Stadium, causing unsatisfactory conditions for play. Kalamazoo locals reported up four inches of rain fell on the field prior to the game.
