RapidFire Quote of the Week Today's RapidFire Quote of the Week comes from midfielder Nick LaBrocca, speaking about scoring the lone goal for Colorado in their match at Columbus on Saturday:

"Conor [Casey] attracted all the defenders. He made a play right in my path. The first touch didn't let me down. I put it right back across the goal....It was a very high-paced game. That's the way it goes. Sometimes it could be a 5-5 first half....We've got to erase the feeling of this game but keep in mind the mistakes we made and regroup as a team and get a win at home this Friday."
