Last season, the Rapids only won one of their 19 road matches in all competitions, a 5-4 victory over the Red Bulls in New York at the beginning of August (D5 L13). Last year, Colorado tied San Jose for the worst road record in MLS with eight points and 42 goals conceded.

Diego Rubio set a Rapids club record with 23 goals last season—more than any other player in club history—with 16 goals and 7 assists. In Rapids history, Rubio’s 16 goals tied Conor Casey’s 2009 total for the most goals scored in a single regular season.
