MLS: D.C. United 0, Colorado 0 (tie)

COMMERCE CITY, Colo., July 8 (UPI) -- Joe Willis made seven saves Sunday, keeping the aggressive Colorado offense off the board and staking D.C. United to a 0-0 draw with the Rapids.

Willis made a tough save on rookie Deshorn Brown in the 12th minute and also stopped him in the 52nd, making a fingertip stop on a shot from just outside the six-yard box.

The Rapids (7-7-6) used the draw remain one point out of fifth place in the Western Conference.
