Let it be known, I followed up on this. All media at MLS NEXT Pro Cup who worked with Peter Cohen, Colorado Rapids Communications Coordinator & former New York Red Bulls Comms Staff, signed the Game Day Roster. For privacy, I’ll only share my note. #Rapids96 #RBNY @burgundywave.bsky.social

A little post-game presser banter with @5280keith.bsky.social

@Rapids_2 lose the championship in kicks. Two straight off the woodwork and it’s hard to overcome that. It’s a rough way to end the season, but damn what a tenacious squad. Despite the ending it’s a season to be proud of. Up the Pids. ❤️ #Rapids96

The season is unfortunately over. Rapids 2 lose to RBNYII in penalties. Hold your heads high boys. Absolutely outstanding season and you have nothing to be ashamed of. We’re still proud of you!! #Rapids96 #UpTheKids

Hold your heads up high #Rapidos. You went all the way to the very end, and did us Proud!

Thank you for all the joy. To every single player that graced the pitch over this season, every coach, every staffer, every mom that liked all our posts—Thank You.

COL:❌❌✅❌ NYRB:✅✅✅ Harris saved. The joyous run is over. Rapids 2 fall short of the whole shebang in penalties in Harrison, New Jersey. #Rapids96

COL:❌❌✅ NYRB:✅✅✅ Camp guesses right but late. #Rapids96

COL:❌❌✅ NYRB:✅✅ García gives a glimmer of hope. #Rapids96

COL:❌❌ NYRB:✅✅ Again, RB sends Camp the opposite direction. #Rapids96

COL:❌❌ NYRB:✅ Billo off the cross bar. Woodwork looking like the MVP in Harrison. #Rapids96

COL:❌ NYRB:✅ Camp guesses the wrong way. #Rapids96

COL:❌ NYRB: Rosa off the post, goalie’s head, post again and out. #Rapids96

Penalties. Zack Campagnolo. Championship on the line. Here we go. #Rapids96

END OF EXTRA TIME: Colorado Rapids 2 - 3, New York Red Bulls II - 3. 'Keepers have been so, so clutch tonight. Now, for the first time in MLS NEXT Pro Cup history, the title will be decided in penalty kick shootout. #Rapids96

114’ Camp with another game saver. 115’ Billo over the bar trying to put it in the top of the net. #Rapids96

105’ Copeland and Erickson on for Wathuta & Flores. Guts and glory time. #Rapids96

For the first time ever, MLS NEXT Pro Cup is headed to extra time. It's also already the highest-scoring NEXT Pro Cup. Two 15-minute halves & then, PKs. #Rapids96

When the team went to extra time against The Town, Rapidos put in 2 unanswered. #Rapids96

Watching these goal highlights, before extra time, makes it clear Rapidos need a designated Goal Celly Coordinator. #Rapids96

86’ Alex Harris goes high on a volley from Billo. 👀 Harris has scored in every match this playoffs. #Rapids96

That 78’ goal was the second time this season Garcia has subbed on and scored without 30 seconds. #Rapids96

77’ García & Frederick on for Bassett & Amadou. Bushey is going for it. #Rapids96

72’ Campagnolo with another point blank save! Both teams are going all gas, no brakes right now. #Rapids96

66’ Rinaldi and Harper get split. Red Bull with its second goal in 70 seconds. 😬 2-2 #Rapids96

65’ Campagnolo gets his view screened as Mosquera puts one in for the Red Bulls. 1-2 Rapidos #Rapids96

63’ Ali Fadal on for James Cameron. Cameron looks a bit in disbelief at being subbed out. #Rapids96

52’ R2 stays stout again at point blank range. Great getback defense. Mitchell appears to have popped his right shoulder out of socket on the goal post. #Rapids96

#Our2 Team of Destiny #Rapids96

46’ James Cameron: By Any Means Necessary! 0-2 Rapidos #Rapids92

42’ R2 survives a close free kick via the man who has been the most effective wall player all season: Billo Diop. #Rapids96

34’ GOD WILLING BILLO GETS HIS GOAL! DIOP OPENS UP THE MLS NEXT PRO CHAMPIONSHIP SCORELINE!!! STEVE FLORES ON THE ASSIST. #Rapids96

28’ Campagnolo with another save on a banger from outside of the box, and then swats away the resulting corner. Zack has been huge these playoffs. #Rapids96

23’ Cullahuazo gets his head checked by trainers after what looked to be blindside collision with Wathuta. Worth noting it looked like Diop was throwing some shade at Mosquera in the foul they were involved in on the opposite side. #Rapids96

14’ Daouda drives one up the pitch himself. Tries to square to Syd but it’s cut off. Liked Daouda’s chances to put a shot on frame there and let Syd play the rebound. #Rapids96

10’ Steve Flores with the last man back clear on the back post! R2 weathers another charge. #Rapids96

7’ Campagnolo with a point blank save! It’s what he does. #Rapids96

3’ Billo has been trying that catch the keeper off his line goal all season. That one didn’t go but tonight would be the night to make it happen. #Rapids96

Daouda on the family TV Screen. 🥺 #Rapids96

::Glares in Rapids:: #Rapids96

¿Por Que No Los Dos? #Rapids96

Dear Chicago Fire, How much do you want for Brian Gutiêrrez? Deal. Yours, Pádraig Smith #Rapids96

Alex Harris on the second half comeback: "He (Erik Bushey) inspired us. We didn't want to end our season playing like that. He drilled in us. 'Leave a legacy.' We were able to do that." "Came out in the second half firing. Rattled off two goals and held on to win."

One last shot at the Richard to end the MLS and MLS Next Pro season. No better way to end it than seeing Rapids 2 win the Western Conference Championship! #RapKids #UpTheKids

Not to be left out: Malik Pinto, Bryce Jamison and Orange County Soccer Club keep their postseason going in Pens. #Rapids96 #OCSC

FULLTIME! COLORADO RAPIDS 2 ARE GOING TO THE MLS NEXT PRO FINAL! Second half goals from Harris and Cameron. Wathuta cooked. The defense bent but did not break. A full team performance. R2 deservedly advance! Elation for Bushey! They will play @ RBNY next weekend! #Rapids96
