Colorado Rapids News Release

Following the Rapids' hard-fought shutout victory over Minnesota United FC midweek, defender Lucas Herrington has been named to Major League Soccer's Team of the Matchday. The 18-year-old Australian international posted a full 90-minute performace achoring the back line at Allianz Field to help provide the Rapids the 1-0 win.

Herrington led the distribution charge for Colorado Wednesday night, generating 60 passes for an 82% pass accuracy rate. Alongside fellow defenders Noah Cobb, Miguel Navarro, and Jackson Travis, Herrington helped keep the Loons out of goalkeeper Nico Hansen's net for the Rapids' second road win of the 2026 season.

This is Herrington's third Team of the Matchday appointment of the season, first securing nominations for the Rapids' shutout win over Portland to open their home campaign and for the scorless draw with LAFC at BMO Stadium in April.

Voting for the All-Star Game is now open! Lock in for Herrington and the Burgundy Boys and send them to Charlotte for the 2026 MLS All-Star Game presented by Chime ️ https://soc.cr/4drFqo4
