Coming off of a long offseason, complete with many roster changes and a Carolina Challenge Cup championship, D.C. United needed just a couple of games to get its turnaround season off the ground.
MARCH
Record: 0-2-1
March 8, 2014: D.C. United 0 – Columbus Crew 3
RFK Stadium
In its home opener, the Black-and-Red looked much like the newly redesigned team that it was. With seven new faces in the starting lineup, D.C. United was still gelling.
March 22, 2014: Toronto FC 1 – D.C. United 0
BMO Field
On the road in front of a packed house at BMO Field, United’s Bill Hamid proved to be one of the top goalkeepers in MLS against a fiery Toronto FC, led by international stars Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley. The Homegrown Okeeper put up five saves on the day.
March 29, 2014: D.C. United 2 – Chicago Fire 2
RFK Stadium
Things have started to click for DCU. On a rainy evening at RFK, United net its first two goals of the season. A free kick blast from newly signed Fabián Espíndola and an 81st minute scramble from Perry Kitchen. The team had much to look forward to, heading into April.
