Columbus Crew SC looking to build on the 2017 experience
Columbus Crew SC is still with heavy hearths as the team had its second MLS Cup run in three years stopped, this time by Toronto FC in the Eastern Conference Finals. The 1-0 defeat at BMO Field on Wednesday ended the dream, but did not erase the accomplishments the Black & Gold achieved in 2017.
Last season, at this same time of the year, Crew SC was on vacations for over a month as the team failed to reach the playoffs for the first time under head coach Gregg Berhalter’.
The Black & Gold bounced back strongly in 2017, collecting 18 more points than in last year’s disappointing regular season campaign and falling to the best team in MLS history by the slimmest of the margins.
