June 18, 2014

The Silverbacks will face MLS side Colorado in the fifth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

The game will be played in Colorado on Sunday.

The Silverbacks advanced in the tournament by defeating Real Salt Lake 2-1 last week. It was their first win over an MLS team in three tries since joining the NASL in 2011.

The Rapids advanced by defeating Orlando City SC 5-2 on Tuesday.

Colorado features two former Silverbacks on its roster in defender Chris Klute, a regular starter at fullback, and backup goalkeeper Joe Nasco.
