Jayson Baca was on target in three out of three games as the Colorado Rapids’ U-16/17s returned from the U.S. Development Academy Winter Showcase in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, with a 3-0-0 record, and without conceding a single goal.
The news was not so bright for the U-18/19s, though it could have been were it not for conceding late goals in all three of their contests - including goals in the last minute of two encounters.
Rapids’ senior DA side tied a pulsating opening game against Concorde Premier last Thursday. The match ended 4-4, with goals from Enoch Mushagalusa (2), Rafael Perez, and Carlos Vargas.
