On a night when a backup keeper ties a franchise record for saves in a single game, there’s not much else you can do than to tip your cap.
Either way, the Colorado Rapids are winless in their last three games, giving up 11 goals in that span. Three of them came against Houston Wednesday night, the Dynamo securing a 3-1 win at home against a Rapids team which has been up and down the past month.

“You can’t control so many things in this game,” Blach said when asked about his trip from the minors to the majors this season.

Bassett, who has been playing the best soccer of his career dating back to the final eight games of last season, was the only Rapids player to be selected.
