Dominique Badji is very familiar with New England, having been a member of the Boston Univ. Terriers soccer team before being selected in the 4th round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
Now in his third season, Badji is still making an a significant contribution for a Rapids team that struggled to score last year.
Badji nodded home a rebound during a scramble in the box in the 52nd minute to lead the Colorado Rapids past the New England Revolution in each team’s MLS 2017 season opener.
Chances were at a premium for both teams in this one, and each team’s best chance came in the first half.
