9.) RAPIDS QUOTE OF THE DAY

Today's Rapids Quote of the Day comes from Team Captain John Spencer, on setting a new club record last Saturday in San Jose. He and Mark Chung set the record for most games in a season two Rapids players have scored in the same game (7):

"It's always nice to have a record. But the most important thing is the three points. Records are always nice, but the team always comes first. The three points are what we play for.
