History

[edit]

Akron Summit Assault was announced as a USL Premier Development League expansion franchise on February 23, 2011,[1] as an unofficial replacement for the Cleveland Internationals franchise which folded at the end of 2010. They played their first competitive game on May 14, 2011, in a 2-0 loss to Chicago Fire Premier.[2] The first goal in franchise history was scored by Michael O'Neill in their next game, a 2-2 tie with the Cincinnati Kings.[3] On Sunday, July 24, 2011, the Akron played their final game, a 1-4 loss against the Chicago Fire U-23 finishing the season with a 5-8-3 record. The Akron Summit Assault folded after the 2011 season for undisclosed reasons. Although it is generally understood that the reason was financial distress.
