Despite being selected in the last round of the MLS SuperDraft (67th overall), rookie Dominique Badji was the first player to score for the Rapids in 2015. He opened the team's and his own MLS account in the 4-0 win at FC Dallas. Badji, who emerged from Boston University, also netted the Rapids' first goal in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (against Colorado Springs Switchbacks), and then scored the team's last goal of 2015, in the 4-1 loss at Portland Timbers on October 25. In between, he enjoyed a loan spell with USL affiliate Charlotte Independence, scoring two goals in six appearances. He was named to the USL Team of the Week in August following a brace in the 2-2 tie with New York Red Bulls II.
