The Buzz: The end of the season was a Rivas showcase. As a designated player, Rivas' future is uncertain. That tag is valuable to Kreis and the young Colombian needed to find consistency and prove his worth. Kreis gave him an opportunity to do that in closing matches of the season and Rivas ran with it, outshining even Larin at times with his speed and energy. But when asked if Rivas could earn a starting role next season, Kreis replied, "First we have to answer the question of whether or not Carlos Rivas will be back with us next year."
