Every Minute

Lalas Abubakar and Sam Vines are currently the two players who have played every minute of the 2020 season for the club. They both continue their streak tonight as they each have earned a spot on the starting lineup. Abubakar will play in the central defender position along side Danny Wilson, and Vines will play in his usual left back spot. 


Memory Lane 

Rapids defender Sam Vines made his MLS debut in San Jose against the Earthquakes when he came on at halftime for Deklan Wynne during a 0-0 draw in October of 2018.
