Coming off a tough 2-0 loss on the road this past Sunday against Houston Dynamo 2, Colorado hopes to turn things around against North Texas SC this weekend. Despite a slow start in the match, Rapids 2 gained momentum over the course of the game and kept pressing until the final whistle. Goalkeeper Zackory Campagnolo fought hard to keep the game scoreless in the first half with some big stops and persevered in the second half to keep the team in the game. With four saves during Sunday’s game, Campagnolo tied Abraham Rodriguez for most goalkeeper saves in Rapids 2 history.
On the other end of this matchup is a North Texas SC side that saw success in their season opener. Last weekend, North Texas endured a back-and-forth battle against Minnesota United FC 2 that ended with a 2-1 win. With goals from Caleb Swann and Jaidyn Contreras, the team walked away with a hard-fought win on the road.
Head-to-head, these teams faced off against each other a total of 14 times since the inaugural season of MLS NEXT Pro. As two of the founding clubs of the league, Rapids 2 is evenly matched against North Texas SC posting an 4-3-3 record overall over the past four seasons. In 2025, Colorado went undefeated against North Texas with a record of 2-0-1 including a shootout win after a 1-1 draw.
