SAN JOSE, Calif. - For a second consecutive year, the San Jose Earthquakes will play the Colorado Rapids in San Luis Obispo, Calif. as part of the MLS Central Coast Challenge hosted by Cal Poly Athletics. The match will kickoff at 6 p.m. PT at Alex G. Spanos Stadium.
The trip to the Central Coast will be the Quakes' fourth in five years. In 2011, San Jose topped Colorado 1-0 thanks to a 29th-minute penalty by Chris Wondolowski. The club played to a scoreless draw against D.C. United and defeated the Columbus Crew, 2-1, in the inaugural 2008 event. In 2009, San Jose won a pair, knocking off the expansion Seattle Sounders FC 3-2 and the Houston Dynamo 2-0.
