COMMERCE CITY — Zac MacMath knew the expiration date: July 4, 2016. That was the day he’d be demoted.
When the Rapids in March announced that U.S. international goalkeeper Tim Howard would be joining the team when the summer transfer window opened, the clock started ticking down for MacMath.
“I kind of knew at that time no matter what I was going to do on the field, it was inevitable that he was going to play,” MacMath said Wednesday.
MacMath had a couple shaky moments immediately following the announcement, but found his form quickly, leading Colorado to a league-best 9-2-5 mark.
