The Colorado Rapids returned from the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Winter Showcase in Florida with an overall 3-2-1 record.
For the U-18/19s there was a little bit of everything, as they opened with a 2-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC last Thursday, before following that with a 4-0 success over Concorde Fire. Goals came from Aymaro Vargas, Noah Boettiger, Oliver Larraz, and Paul Elliott. Boettiger’s goal aside, all others came from the penalty spot.
Marcelo Balboa’s team wrapped-up the showcase on Sunday with a second successive shutout, as they tied Crew SC Academy 0-0.
