It’s been five years since the Union made the playoffs, and this season is their next opportunity to prove themselves in the post season.
Of course back in 2011 the Union lost in the Conference Semifinals to the Houston Dynamo; who were still part of the Eastern Conference then. Many things have changed since 2011, teams move conferences, coaching staffs alter, and players come and go; except for Brian Carroll.
Brian Carroll remains the only member of the Union’s 2011 playoff team still active on their current roster. The 35-year-old vet has proven to be an integral part of the Union’s backbone this season, both on and off the field.
