In his first season in MLS, Rob Vincent enjoyed a breakout year for the Black-and-Red. After starting the season in a wide midfield role, Vincent moved into the center and proved to be an effective and reliable deep-lying midfielder. The 26-year-old started D.C. United’s final 10 regular season matches and scored his first MLS goal with a well placed indirect free kick from the edge of the six-yard box against Chicago on Sept. 16. Vincent made his first postseason appearance in the 4-2 loss against the Montreal Impact on October 27.
