SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. Sept. 26, 2014 (WEEK 29, MLS Game #275)
7 p.m. CT (NBCSN; TSN2)
A massive clash atop the Eastern Conference is ahead when Sporting Kansas City play host to the New England Revolution on Friday evening at Sporting Park before an NBC Sports Network audience. The teams are separated by just three points in the table, with Sporting sitting in second place in the conference, three points behind leaders D.C. United, while the Revolution are one point ahead of fourth-place New York. Sporting return to action after snapping a four-game losing slide last time out in a 4-0 defeat of Chivas USA, while the Revs saw a five-game winning run come to an end in a 1-0 loss at the Columbus Crew.

Lee Nguyen scored a pair of goals as the Revolution claimed a 3-1 win Sept. 3 at Gillette Stadium; Teal Bunbury and Nguyen each scored in second-half stoppage time as the Revolution took a 2-0 victory on April 26 in Foxborough. New England haven’t won in Kansas City since 2008, a 3-1 win April 9. Sporting have six wins in eight home matches in all competitions since, with two draws. The Revolution victory in the first meeting ended a six-game Sporting undefeated streak in league play, and the goals were their first scored in the series since July 30, 2011. The teams met in a thrilling Eastern Conference Semifinal Series a year ago. After the Revolution won 2-1 at Gillette Stadium in the first leg, they pushed Sporting to extra time in the return match, before SKC took a 3-1 victory on their to an eventual MLS Cup championship. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NE: P12 W5 L4 D3 … Jay Heaps vs. KC: P7 W2 L3 D2 LAST MEETING (MLS) Sporting took the lead after just nine minutes. Center back Matt Besler unloaded a long throw-in from just above the left corner. Revolution midfielder Jermaine Jones got his head to it at the near post, only to deflect it straight back where Sonny Saad nodded it home at the far post. But the home side drew level just before halftime. Jones unleashed a beautiful diagonal pass from midfield to the feet of Teal Bunbury, who worked a defender in the area before taking a shot that deflected off Besler and past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum. The Revs took the lead three minutes after the halftime restart. Kelyn Rowe, after patiently holding up along the left side, found Lee Nguyen streaking in, and at the top of the box he calmly collected and fired, curling a beauty into the top right corner of the goal. The home side put away the game in stoppage time as Nguyen collected a second. After creating a turnover on his own and playing a one-two with Patrick Mullins, he took the return pass in the right of the area and shot low inside the far post. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-1-4-1): Bobby Shuttleworth - Andrew Farrell, Jose Goncalves, A.J. Soares, Darrius Barnes - Jermaine Jones (Steve Neumann 46) - Teal Bunbury, Daigo Kobayashi, Lee Nguyen, Kelyn Rowe (Diego Fagundez 85) - Charlie Davies (Patrick Mullins 61).

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their losing slide after four matches in emphatic fashion last time out, strolling to a 40 victory against Chivas USA on Sept. 12 at StubHub Center. Sporting are in second place in the Eastern Conference with 45 points from 28 games. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead in the 40th minute. Dom Dwyer ran onto a long diagonal ball from Graham Zusi, and took a touch to send it past an onrushing Dan Kennedy. It was his 19th goal this year, a new Kansas City single-season club record. The visitors then doubled their lead in first half stoppage time. Antonio Dovale’s curling shot bounced off the far post, but Benny Feilhaber was first to the rebound, getting an acrobatic touch on the ball to knock it into the open net. The lead was 3-0 seven minutes after the halftime break, when Zusi picked up the ball on the edge of the box, dribbled, and shot through a collection of Chivas defenders. The rout was complete in the 87th minute, when substitute Claudio Bieler got the ball on a breakaway and pushed it wide of Kennedy on the right, finishing with a tightly-angled shot outside the right post into the far side netting. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made no changes to the team that suffered a 2-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Andy Gruenebaum - Igor Juliao, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Lawrence Olum - Paulo Nagamura (Mikey Lopez 61), Benny Feilhaber - Antonio Dovale, Dom Dwyer (Claudio Bieler 77), Graham Zusi (Soony Saad 70). TEAM NEWS Sporting won for the first time in league play since Aug. 16 with the victory. Their four-game losing slide was the club’s longest since since Aug. 1-29, 2009. The win at Chivas USA also snapped a three-game road losing skein. “I thought from start to finish we were very good. We controlled the game,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “I thought our defensive pressure was excellent. The swarming of the ball was exceptional and it really led to all the chances that we had and that we were pretty clinical around the goal. Scored four goals and then not give up any is a big thing anytime you play away from home.” Said defender Matt Besler: “It always feels nice to win, especially on the road. At the same time, it’s just one game. We’ve been very good at that in the past of taking one game at a time, not getting too high, not getting too low. These three points don’t really mean much unless we follow it up the next game with another three points.” Dom Dwyer scored his 19th goal of the season, setting the Kansas City club record that had stood for 19 years, since Preki scored 18 goals for the then-Kansas City Wiz in the inaugural MLS season of 1996. Dwyer scored for a second consecutive match and the third time in the last four games. He has five goals over the last six games, after going goalless for a five-match spell July 12-Aug. 10. “I’ve always scored goals, it’s my job and what I’m good at and I definitely pride myself at it. I want to be the top scorer in every team that I play for and every league,” Dwyer said. “I’m never satisfied and I guess that’s why I’m still hungry. I beat the record but now I want more, I want it even more so. We just have to get back to winning ways and I’m going to get chances and we’ll keep winning games and hopefully a championship.” Graham Zusi scored a goal and added an assist, the ninth time in his MLS career he’s had at least one goal and one assist in the same game. Zusi has assists in back-to-back games and has three goals and three assists since returning from the FIFA World Cup. “We were very hungry and all the chances were created off of our pressure which was great to see and that was something we emphasized all week long and the last few weeks,” Vermes said. In his third consecutive start and his ninth in league play this season, Andy Gruenebaum posted a shutout in goal, SKC’s first clean sheet since recording back-to-back shutouts June 6-27. “It’s something that we’ve been talking about for a while and we know that getting shutouts is important for success in this league,” said Besler. “It’s something that’s been a part of our team for the last three or four years, they’ve been hard to come by the last 10 games, but it feels great to get back.” Since their last league match, Sporting have played two games in the CONCACAF Champions League. On Sept. 18, SKC claimed a massive victory with a 3-1 win against Deportivo Saprissa of Costa Rica at Sporting Park. Dom Dwyer put Sporting ahead with an early penalty, then Antonio Dovale scored twice seven minutes apart after the break to secure the victory.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION The New England Revolution saw their latest five-game winning streak come to an end, falling 1-0 to the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Revolution are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 42 points from 29 games. LAST MATCH The game's lone goal came three minutes after the second half restart. A New England foul gave Columbus a free kick from just outside the top of the box, and Federico Higuain stepped up with his usual dead ball confidence, swinging a powerful, curling effort into the top corner that left New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth no chance. The Crew had a glorious chance to put the game on ice in the 84th minute when Revolution defender A.J. Soares committed a late tackle that took out the legs of Justin Meram, and referee Ted Unkel ruled a penalty kick. But Higuain scuffed his effort from the spot and left Shuttleworth with an easy save. Revolution head coach Jay Heaps made two changes to the team that came back for a 2-1 win against the Montréal Impact at Gillette Stadium. Scott Caldwell and Diego Fagundez came back into the team in place of Jermaine Jones and the suspended Teal Bunbury. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-1-4-1): Bobby Shuttleworth - Andrew Farrell, Jose Goncalves, A.J. Soares, Darrius Barnes (Chris Tierney 56) - Scott Caldwell - Kelyn Rowe, Daigo Kobayashi (Jermaine Jones 46), Lee Nguyen, Diego Fagundez (Steve Neumann 74) - Charlie Davies. TEAM NEWS The Revolution saw their five-game winning streak come to an end with the loss, their first defeat since Aug. 2 (a six-game span). The Revs also put together a five-game win streak April 26-May 24, one game shy of the club record set April 9-May 14, 2005. “I think you can see that everyone is frustrated. It’s normal, we lost a game, but we had the chances to win the game,” said defender Jose Goncalves. “They picked up three points at the end and we have to accept that and move on because we are still in a good spot. We absolutely need to turn this around next weekend to get a win.” The Revolution are the only team, besides D.C. United in 1999, with multiple winning streaks of five or more games in one season. The Revs were shut out at the attacking end for the first time since July 19, when they were defeated 2-0 at FC Dallas. It was their third 1-0 reversal of the season. “We just got to watch this game over, see where we made the mistakes and get ready for Kansas City, because in reality, that is the big one for us,” said striker Charlie Davies. “We got to put this one behind us and move on and really step it up for Kansas City. If we can get a result there, then all is forgotten and we can move forward as a team.” After suffering a foot injury that forced him off at halftime of the Montréal match the week before, Jermaine Jones started the game on the substitutes’ bench, coming on to start the second half. “I put him in to change the game up. He obviously took a pretty nasty knock last week,” said Heaps. “We wanted to get him on the field but at the same time he wasn’t full speed at training all week. I thought he went in and sure enough he gets kicked the time in. It’s a little bit disheartening.” Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth saved his second penalty kick attempt of the season – and the second of his career. He has conceded goals on six of eight penalty attempt for his five-year career. “It’s obviously disappointing, we wanted to come here and get a result. Columbus played like they wanted it more, they had more energy than us,” said Davies. “We didn’t have the best of first halves, but we were able to keep it even and go into half even. I thought that we played better in the second half, we just gave them good chances. If you give (Federico) Higuain some free kicks, he is going to put it in.”

Sporting KC has sold out 50 straight MLS home games at Sporting Park. Peter Vermes is in his sixth season as manager, second longest in club history behind Bob Gansler. Vermes’ winning percentage (.558) is best for Sporting KC all-time. During the 2014 MLS regular season, 30 different players have featured for Sporting KC and 30 have earned starts, both club records. Graham Zusi’s 503 career corner kicks taken in the regular season are most all-time for Sporting KC and tied for ninth in MLS history. Graham Zusi is third on Sporting KC’s all-time assist chart with 38 and tied with Chris Klein for second on the game-winning assists chart with 16. Aurelien Collin is second in club history for most MLS goals scored by a defender with 15, two shy of Jimmy Conrad (17). With a start on Friday, Matt Besler would move into a tie for seventh place on Sporting KC’s all-time games started chart 142 (alongside Jack Jewsbury and Mo Johnston). Dom Dwyer’s 19 MLS goals in 2014 are first on the club’s single-season goal scoring chart all-time. Dom Dwyer and Graham Zusi are tied for ninth on the club’s all-time scoring chart with 21 goals. Dom Dwyer, C.J. Sapong and Graham Zusi are tied for seventh on the club’s all-time game-winning goals chart with seven. Dom Dwyer’s five multi-goal games are tied for most in a single season in club history (and tied for third-most all-time). Should Benny Feilhaber start on Friday, it will be his 50th regular season start for Sporting KC and the 100th total start of his MLS career (including postseason). With a start on Friday, Igor Juliao would become the first 20-year-old (or younger) in club history to start 20 games in the same regular season.
sporting kc news & notes Dwyer breaks Sporting KC’s single-season scoring record
Forward Dom Dwyer moved atop Sporting KC’s all-time single-season scoring chart on Sept. 12, notching his 19th goal of the campaign in a 4-0 victory at Chivas USA. Dwyer broke the 18-year-old record formerly held by Preki in the 39th minute, receiving an over-the-top pass from Graham Zusi before slotting past goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. Dwyer is second in the MLS Golden Boot race, trailing New York’s Bradley Wright-Phillips (24 goals) with five games remaining in the regular season. A 2014 MLS All-Star, Dwyer is tied for the MLS lead with five multi-goal games (tied for third most all-time in club history) and ranks third in the League in shots (97) and shots on goal (43). The 24-year-old has appeared in a team-high 28 MLS matches this season. All five of Dwyer’s multi-goal games have come against Canadian opposition (three vs. Montreal, two vs. Toronto). Only six MLS players have recorded more multi-goal games in a season over the League’s 19-year history. Furthermore, the Englishman’s six successful penalties in 2014 are now second most in team history and fourth most in a single-season by an MLS player all-time. Dwyer is tied for seventh on the club’s career goal scoring chart alongside teammate Graham Zusi. C.J. Sapong is a goal behind in 11th place.

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Revs winless in Kansas City since 2008
Friday is the third regular season meeting in 2014 between Sporting KC and the New England Revolution. The Revs have earned a pair of two-goal victories at Gillette Stadium -- 2-0 on April 26 and 3-1 on Sept. 3 -- but a visit to Sporting Park will be a different test altogether for Jay Heaps’ men. New England is winless in seven games in Kansas City dating back to 2008 (0-5-2) and has been shut out in each of their last three matches at Sporting Park. Sporting KC has outscored the Revolution 15-3 during the seven-game stretch.
Emphatic road win at Chivas USA puts Sporting KC back on track
Sporting KC cruised to a 4-0 win over Chivas USA on Sept. 12, snapping a four-game MLS losing streak and moving within three points of Eastern Conference leaders D.C. United. The four-goal margin of victory was tied for the second largest away from home in club history. Not since 2000 had the team earned a more lopsided road win. Defensively, the club posted its first clean sheet in 13 games and allowed a season-low one shot on goal. The reigning MLS champions delivered their most clinical offensive outing of the season, scoring four open-play goals from nine chances created (per Opta). That 44 percent conversion rate is their second highest for a single game since Opta began tracking the ‘chances created’ statistic in 2011, a span of 131 matches. In comparison, their 36 created chances during the four-game losing streak from Aug. 23 to Sept. 6. yielded just three total goals. In similar efficiency, Sporting KC put six of their 13 shots on goal for a 46.2 percent clip. During the losing streak, just 12 of their 51 shot attempts (23.5 percent) tested the goalkeeper.
Sporting KC’s depth tested throughout 2014 season
Through 29 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 27 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. In May, schedule congestion came to the forefront with seven MLS games during the month. More recently, goalkeepers Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum suffered injuries, giving Jon Kempin his first career MLS start. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered seasonending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown, Aurelien Collin, Dom Dwyer and Benny Feilhaber have served one-game suspensions. As a result, 30 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, a team record and most in the League. Of those 30 players, 12 were 23 years of age or younger at the start of the season. The club’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign. Overall, 30 players have appeared for the club in an MLS match this year, tied for most in 2014 with Chivas USA.
Paying the penalty
Sporting KC has conceded seven penalty kicks through 28 matches this year, tied for most in the club’s single-season history. This follows a Leaguewide trend, as referees have frequently pointed to the spot in 2014. As of Sept. 23, 120 penalty kicks have been awarded through 273 games (0.44 per game). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the 2012 campaign had 72 penalties (0.22 per game).
Spot on for Sporting KC
Dom Dwyer’s six consecutive penalty kick conversions in 2014 continues a recent trend for the MLS champions from the penalty spot. The club has now scored on 13 straight attempts dating back to 2012 -- the longest active streak in MLS -- and has proven successful on 26 of their last 27 penalty kicks dating back to 2007. In addition, the club secured the 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup in penalty shootout wins.
Sporting Park sellout streak
Sporting Park has sold out 50 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 63 of 71 MLS games and averaged 19,334 spectators, 104.7 percent of its 18,467 capacity. Through 14 MLS matches of the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance is 20,172. The stadium’s 109.2 percent capacity this season ranks first in the League (excluding CenturyLink Field in Seattle, where official capacity is 38,500 but expands to 67,000 for select matches).
Sporting KC takes control of CONCACAF Champions League Group 2
Sporting KC moved atop the Group 2 standings in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League with a 3-1 victory over Costa Rica’s Deportivo Saprissa at Sporting Park on Sept. 18. Antonio Dovale scored his second and third goals of the tournament in the second half, while Dom Dwyer converted a first half penalty kick for his 20th goal in all competitions this season. The victory marked only the second time in club history that the team scored three goals in a competitive international match and the first such three-goal outing since the 2001 Copa Merconorte. Dovale’s three goals in international competition (he also scored on Aug. 19 at Real Esteli) are second most by a Kansas City player all-time, tied with Roy Lassister and one behind Chris Brown. The result leaves the two sides level with four points in the Group 2 standings, but Sporting KC holds the head-to-head tiebreaker by virtue of greater goal differential. The rematch and group stage finale is set for Oct. 23 in San Jose, Costa Rica, with the The group winner will advance to the quarterfinal round in early 2015. Sporting KC advanced to the 2013-14 quarterfinals in March against Mexican club and eventual champion Cruz Azul, losing 5-2 on aggregate. Deportivo Saprissa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and won their 30th league title in May to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division. Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition.

Sporting KC’s USL PRO affiliates end regular season
USL PRO affiliate OKC Energy FC concluded their inaugural season on Sept. 6. Sporting KC captain Jimmy Nielsen ended his first year as head coach with a 9-14-5 record (32 points) as 10th place OKC fell five points short of the eighth and final playoff spot. Five Sporting KC players -- Christian Duke, Kevin Ellis, Jimmy Medranda, Jon Kempin and Mikey Lopez -- saw action for OKC in 2014. Lopez led the group in goals (one) and appearances (14) and was the only player to also feature for Orlando City SC. Duke led in assists (three) and minutes played (912). Orlando City SC, meanwhile, lifted their third USL PRO Commissioners Cup in four seasons, ending the regular season at 19-4-5 (62 points). However, the Lions suffered a 1-0 upset loss to the Harrisburg City Islanders in the USL PRO quarterfinals on Sept. 13. Next year, Orlando City will become Major League Soccer’s 21st franchise and the first located in the state of Florida since the Miami Fusion and Tampa Bay Mutiny folded in 2001. 2014 USL PRO Statistics Player USL affiliate Loan spell Christian Duke Energy FC 3/17 - 9/6 Kevin Ellis Energy FC 4/21 - 5/16 Jimmy Medranda Energy FC 7/10 - 9/1 Mikey Lopez Orlando City 3-17 - 6/4 Energy FC 6/4 - 6/30 Player USL affiliate Loan spell Jon Kempin Energy FC 3/17 - 7/9

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Palmer-Brown features for U.S. U-20 Men’s National Team in Argentina
Sporting KC homegrown defender Erik Palmer-Brown joined United States Under-20 Men’s National team for a training camp and three friendly matches in Buenos Aires, Argentina from Sept. 1-10. Palmer-Brown started in central defense for all three friendlies—a 2-0 win against Racing Club Reserves (Sept. 4), a 3-2 victory over Defensa y Justicia Reserves (Sept. 6) and a 1-1 stalemate with the Argentina U-20 National Team (Sept. 9). Palmer-Brown signed a homegrown player contract with Sporting KC in August 2013 and has logged five appearances for the club in all competitions this season. The Lee’s Summit, Missouri native made his professional debut in May, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a regular season match as a defender, for the first of three MLS games played to date. He also appeared in the 2014 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game, this summer’s Champions Shield against Manchester City, and Tuesday’s CONCACAF Champions League match vs. Real Esteli.
Besler and Zusi sign Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC
Sporting KC signed defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi to long-term Designated Player contracts on July 19. Two members of the club’s 2009 MLS SuperDraft class, Besler and Zusi become the fifth and sixth Designated Players in team history behind teammate Claudio Bieler (2013), Jeferson (2011), Omaro Bravo (2011) and Claudio Lopez (2008). An Overland Park native, Besler became the first player from the state of Kansas to play in a FIFA World Cup when he started all four matches for the United States in Brazil this summer. The 27-year-old centerback debuted for the U.S. in January 2013 and has 21 career international appearances, including all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Besler was named captain of the reigning MLS Cup champions prior to the 2014 season and was recognized as the Kansas City Sports Commission Sportsman of the Year in April. Besler has made 156 MLS appearances (including postseason) with two goals and seven assists since being drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of Notre Dame. Zusi is also coming off a strong performance at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He appeared in all four games for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and contributed assists in back-to-back group stage games against Ghana and Portugal. The 28-year-old has earned 27 career international appearances with three goals and six assists. Taken in the second round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft as a two-time national champion at the University of Maryland, Zusi has recorded 21 goals and 43 assists in 154 MLS matches (including postseason) over six professional seasons with Sporting KC.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY
TEAM NOTES STREAK SNAPPED Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Columbus snapped the Revs’ five-game winning streak and six-game unbeaten streak ... prior to that game, the Revs had not lost since August 2 when they fell 2-1 to the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena ... the five-game winning streak tied for the longest winning streak in MLS this season with the LA Galaxy (August 20-September 5) and Seattle Sounders FC (April 12-May 7), who each won five consecutive regular-season games ... the Revs also won five straight from April 26-May 24 ... the Revolution is the fourth team in MLS history with multiple five-game winning streaks in a single season and the first to do so since 1999 ... each of the Revs’ five-game winning streaks this season were one-game shy of equaling the club’s record six-game winning streak, which was set between April 9 and May 14, 2005. SEEKING A SWEEP OF SPORTING Friday night’s game will be the third and final regular season meeting between the Revolution and Sporting Kansas City this season ... the Revs won each of the first two matches - winning 2-0 on April 26 and 3-1 on September 3 - and are now one victory shy of just their second season sweep of Kansas City ... the only other time the Revs swept a season series from Kansas City came in 1999 when New England claimed 1-0 and 3-2 wins ... on just two previous occasions have the Revs won three straight against Kansas City, with the last time coming in the final two meetings of the 2007 season and the first of the 2008 campaign.
had 15 wins (1996 and 1997), but both were in the league’s shootout era. MAKING A POINT OF IT The Revolution enter Friday night’s game with 42 points from a 13-13-3 record ... with five games remaining on the schedule, the club can achieve a maximum of 57 points ... the Revs’ club record for points in a season in 59, and while that record is safe for at least one more year, they are still well within reach of achieving the second-best season in club history ... last year, the Revs went 14-11-9 on the season for 51 points, establishing the club’s second-high est point total in club history ... New England now needs nine points from its final 15 available to match that record, while 10 points would surpass it and give the club their second-best campaign ... since the start of MLS in 1996, only two teams have missed the playoffs when registering 50 points or more: San Jose (51 pts.) in 2013, and Columbus (52 pts.) in 2012. BOUNCING BACK The Revolution were shutout for the ninth time this season on Saturday night against the Crew ... so far this season, in the regular-season game immediately following a shutout, the Revs have gone just 2-5-1, with four of the previous eight shutouts coming during the club’s eight-game losing streak this summer ... prior to Saturday, the Revs had not been shutout since July 19 against FC Dallas, a game that they lost 2-0 ... in the 10 games since that defeat, New England went 6-3-1 to climb back into the heart of the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
SET TO FACE THE CHAMPS Friday night’s game will be the Revs’ third and final meeting of the season against the defending MLS Cup champions ... with wins in the first two meetings against SKC this season, the Revs are now unbeaten in their last six games against defending MLS Cup champions, drawing Colorado twice in 2011 and beating the LA Galaxy in both 2012 and 2013 ... all-time, the Revs are 19-20-4 when facing the defending MLS Cup champion, including a 7-3-2 mark since last reaching MLS Cup in 2007.
TOUGH PLACE TO PLAY Friday night’s game will be the Revs’ lone visit to Sporting Park this season … in four regularseason games at the venue, the Revs are 0-2-2 and have been outscored 7-1 … Rajko Lekic is the only player to score for the Revs at Sporting Park (July 30, 2011) in a regular-season game and the club has gone 322 minutes since last scoring at the venue … the Revolution did score at Sporting Park in the second leg of their 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinal, though they fell, 4-3, on aggregate in the series, which included a 3-1 road loss in extra time.
THIRD IN CONGESTED EAST The Revolution will enter Friday night’s game in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 13-13-3 record for 42 points ... New England is just three points behind second-place Sporting Kansas City, and a win on Friday would push the two clubs into a tie for second with 45 points each ... New York is one point behind the Revs (10-8-11, 41 pts.) while Columbus currently holds the fifth and final playoff spot with a 10-9-10 record for 40 pts. ... a total of five points separate the third through seventh place teams in the East with Philadelphia (sixth, 38 pts.) and Toronto FC (seventh, 37 pts.) all within striking distance of a playoff spot, although TFC has played one fewer game than the six teams ahead of them ... D.C. United (14-9-6, 48 pts.) are currently in first place in the East with five games remaining.
#MVLee Lee Nguyen, who has emerged as an MLS MVP candidate this season, is helping pace the Revs’ recent resurgence … in the last nine games, New England has gone 6-2-1 – rising from sixth to third in the Eastern Conference standings … in that stretch, Nguyen has scored seven goals and added three assists, extending his team lead in goals to a career-high 13, which includes a MLS-leading and club-record seven game-winning goals … entering the season Nguyen had nine goals (including two game-winners) in 63 regular-season games ... other Nguyen highlights and acheivements this season include: • he is the league’s highest-scoring midfielder • his 13 goals tied Diego Fagundez’s Revolution club record for goals scored by a midfielder (13 in 2013) • he is tied with San Jose’s Chris Wondolowski for the second-most goals by an American in MLS this season • New England is 8-1-1 when Nguyen scores a goal, and 4-0-0 when he records an assist this season • he is seventh in MLS, and second among midfielders, with 34 shots on goal • he is fourth in the league in fouls suffered with 66
FIVE REMAIN The Revs have five games remaining on their schedule, with just two of the five to be played at Gillette Stadium ... all five games will see New England take on Eastern Conference foes with the club hosting Columbus (October 4) and Toronto FC (October 25), and traveling to face Sporting Kansas City (September 26), Montreal (October 11) and Houston (October 16) ... so far this season, the Revs are: • 6-4-0 against the clubs remaining on their schedule (4-1-0 at home, 2-3-0 on the road) • 9-4-2 at home and 4-9-1 on the road, overall • 9-10-1 against fellow Eastern Conference clubs REVS FINISH STRONG UNDER HEAPS With five games remaining in the schedule and the Eastern Conference playoff picture still tighly-packed, the Revs will be looking to close out the season on a nigh note ... in his first two seasons as head coach, Jay Heaps’ teams have done just that ... last season, the Revs went 3-0-2 in their last five games to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2009 ... in 2012, Heaps’ first season as head coach, the Revs were 2-2-1 in their last five, including back-to-back wins to close out the season ... in both 2012 and 2013, the Revs had to play three of their final five on the road, just as they do this season. THIRD IS NOTHING NEW, BUT A HIGHER FINISH IS OVERDUE Third place in the East is nothing unfamiliar for the Revs ... New England finished in third place in the Eastern Conference in 2013 with 51 points, and currently sit in third this season ... the Revs have not finished a season higher than third place in the East since 2007 when the club went 14-8-8 (50 pts.) to finish second in the Eastern Conference and reach MLS Cup for a third consecutive season. WINNING WAYS New England’s 13 wins so far this season are tied with FC Dallas, Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City for fourth-most in MLS ... only Seattle (17 wins), LA (15 wins) and D.C. (14 wins) have more victories than New England this year ... the team’s 13 wins are also one shy of the team’s 14-win total in 2013, a year in which the club returned to the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2009 ... the Revolution’s club record for wins is 17, set in 2005 ... the club twice
A REAL GAME-WINNER In seven of New England’s 13 victories this season, Lee Nguyen has been credited with the game-winning goal … his seven game-winners are the most in MLS this season and are tied for the fifth-best single-season tally in MLS history … prior to this season, the Revolution club record for game-winning goals in a season was six, which was set by Taylor Twellman in 2005 … Nguyen now has nine game-winning goals as a member of the Revolution, only Twellman (28), Joe-Max Moore (13), Steve Ralston (12) and Shalrie Joseph (10) have more for the club … San Jose’s Chris Wondolowski holds the MLS record for game-winning goals in a season with 11 (set in 2012), in addition to nine game-winners in 2010 and eight in 2013 … in the history of MLS, the only player other than Wondolowski to score more than seven game-winning goals in a single season is Carlos Ruiz, who had nine for the LA Galaxy in 2002. DAVIES FINDING HIS FORM During the last nine games, the Revolution are 6-2-1, taking 19 of a possible 27 points to climb from seventh in the East to third … Davies has appeared in all nine of those games, starting eight and coming off the bench to score the game-winning goal against Chicago on September 7 … all totaled, Davies has three goals and three assists in those nine contests … his three goals in that span are tied with Kelyn Rowe for the second most, while his three assists are tied with Jermaine Jones, Lee Nguyen and Rowe for the most on the team in that time … prior to these nine games, Davies had appeared in just eight games with the Revs since joining the club in August 2013, starting one, and did not have a shot in his 170 minutes of action. JONES STARTS = REVS WIN After being hampered by a left foot injury that he suffered in the first half against Montreal on September 13, Jermaine Jones came on at halftime of the Revs’ 1-0 loss to Columbus,
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY
TEAM NOTES replacing Daigo Kobayashi ... it was Jones’ second substitute appearance for the club and first since his debut against Toronto FC on August 30 … in the three games that Jones has started this season, including the Revs’ 3-1 win over Sporting Kansas City on September 3, the Revs are 3-0-0 and the U.S. midfielder has an assist in each contest … in fact, Saturday’s loss was the club’s first since he joined the club nearly a month ago on August 24 … in five games as a member of the Revs, Jones has five shots and has suffered eight fouls while committing four and collecting a yellow card against Chicago on September 7. A SECOND SPOT KICK SAVE FOR SHUTTLEWORTH While the Revolution saw their five-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, they did receive a sterling performance from Bobby Shuttleworth in goal … his first-half save on an Eric Gehrig header was nominated for the league’s save of the week, and in the second half, he and he saved Federico Higuain penalty kick attempt … it was Shuttleworth’s second penalty save this season, having previously stopped a Juan Luis Anangono penalty in second-half stoppage time of the Revs’ 1-1 draw at Chicago on April 19 (New England’s most recent game to be shown nationally on NBC Sports Network) … Shuttleworth is one of four goalkeepers in MLS this season to stop two or more penalties, joining Philadelphia’s Zac MacMath, Salt Lake’s Nick Rimando and New York’s Luis Robles … he is the first Revolution goalkeeper to save more than one penalty kick in a season since Matt Reis stopped two of the three spot kicks that he faced in 2006 … the only Revolution goalkeepers to stop more than two penalties in a single season are Ian Feuer (who allowed one goal on five penalty attempts) in 1998 and Jeff Causey (who allowed one goal on five penalty attempts) in 2000 … for the season, Shuttleworth has saved two of the four penalties that he has faced … for his MLS career, he has stopped two of eight penalties. SHUTTLEWORH STANDING TALL Bobby Shuttleworth has a firm grasp on his starting goalkeeper role this season, and enters Friday’s match at Kansas City with a career-high 27 starts and appearances so far this year ... the sixth-year ‘keeper is ranked sixth in MLS in goals against average with a 1.26 mark, and his 12 wins and seven shutouts are both tied for third in the league ... on the season, he has made 75 saves, including a pair of penalty kick saves ... in the Revs’ club record books, Shuttleworth ranks second in almost every goalkeeping category behind Matt Reis, including appearances (70), starts (68), minutes played (6,254), wins (25), goals against avergae (1.34) and shutouts (20) ... he is currently in fourth place in saves, but is just three saves away from becoming the third goalkeeper in club history with 200 or more saves, and is 10 saves away from jumping past Adin Brown and Jeff Causey for second place in club history. BUNBURY STARS AGAINST HIS FORMER CLUB After missing Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Columbus while serving a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation, the Revolution will welcome Teal Bunbury back to the squad this week … Saturday’s match was the first regular-season game that Bunbury had not appeared in for the club this season ... while he was away from the team last weekend, he made his time count, proposing to his long-time girlfriend, Kaity (she said yes!) ... acquired from Sporting KC in February, Bunbury has four goals and four assists in 28 games for the Revs this season ... the four assists are a new single-season high, while his four goals are one shy of equaling his second-best single-season mark ... after spending each of his first four seasons with Kansas City and helping the club win the Open Cup in 2012 and MLS Cup in 2013, Bunbury has scored in each of his two meetings against his former club ... he tallied the 92nd-minute gamewinner for the Revs in the 2-0 win on April 26, starting a five-game winning streak for his club ... then he also scored the game-tying goal late in the first half of New England’s 3-1 win over SKC on September 3 ... both games were played at Gillette Stadium ... Friday’s match will be his first back at Sporting Park since the February trade. FARRELL IS EVER PRESENT Andrew Farrell missed the Revs’ season-opening loss in Houston on March 8 because of a lingering leg injury from preseason, but he has been an ever-present presence in Jay Heaps’ lineup ever since … the second-year defender has played the full 90 minutes in each of the club’s last 28 games, lining up at right back (19 games) and in central defense (nine games) … his 2,520 minutes played this season is tied for the seventh most in MLS and are the third most among field players … only Philadelphia’s Raymon Gaddis (2,601 minutes played) and D.C. United’s Bobby Boswell (2,595 minutes played) have played more minutes as a field player than Farrell has this season … as a rookie in 2013, Farrell appeared in and started 32 of the Revs’ 34 games, playing 2,813 minutes, the second-highest total on the team. JUST TWO REMAIN Of the 30 players on the Revolution roster, just two have appeared in all 29 of the club’s regular-season matches ... Diego Fagundez and Daigo Kobayashi have each appeared in the Revs’ first 29 matches of the season with Fagundez starting 24 and Kobayashi starting 20 ... Teal Bunbury had played in the first 28 games of the season for New England, but was suspended for Saturday’s 1-0 loss in Columbus ... while Fagundez and Kobayashi lead the team in regular-season appearances, Andrew Farrell and A.J. Soares are tied for the team-lead with 28 regular-season starts ... Farrell leads the team with 2,520 minutes played, playing the full
90 minutes in every game except for the season opener against Houston, which he missed with an injury ... Fagundez and Kobayashi each played in two of the Revs’ three U.S. Open Cup games this year, leading lead the club with 31 appearances in all competitions. ROWE’S PLAYING LIKE IT’S 2013 Kelyn Rowe had one of the most impressive sophomore seasons in MLS history last year, with seven goals and eight assists as a 21-year old ... however, his 2014 campaign was partially derailed early on when he missed the team’s second match of the season with a hamstring injury and then left the team’s third match with a hamstring strain in the other leg ... he missed almost two months with that injury, but has only recently gotten back to full strength and fitness ... in the team’s last 10 matches, Rowe has scored all three of his goals and added four of his team-high five assists to help the Revs post a 6-3-1 record in that span ... after playing exclusively on the right wing or in central midfield the first part of the season, Rowe has started each of the last five games out to the left wing, helping the Revs take 12 of a possible 15 points in that time. TIERNEY RETURNS Chris Tierney made his return to the field on Saturday, coming on as a second-half substitute in place of Darrius Barnes at left back ... Tierney, who was an unused substitute a week earlier against Montreal, came on in the 56th minute and had a late chance to grab a point for the Revs, only for his free kick attempt to be saved by Crew goalkeeper Steve Clark ... he had been out since spraining his left MCL on July 26 in a 2-1 home loss to the Crew ... on the season, Tierney has one goal and three assists in 20 regular-season appearances ... he has been booked four times on the season and is one yellow card away from a one-game suspension ... however, if he is not booked on Friday, he will have one card expunged from his record and be two shy of a suspension via the Good Behavior Incentive. GOAL SCORING EVENLY SPLIT Heading into the week, 11 of the 19 teams in MLS - including the Revolution - have a positive goal differential ... with 41 goals scored and 40 conceded, the Revs’ +1 goal difference is the slimmest positive margin in the league ... New England has even split its goal scoring amongst the two halves, scoring 20 first half goals and 21 second half goals while conceding 21 before the break and 19 in the final 45 minutes of games. HOME ROAD SPLIT While the Revolution have scored and conceded goals almost evenly between the halves, there’s been a pronounced difference in the club’s tallies at home and on the road ... for the season, the Revs are 9-4-2 at home, but 4-9-1 away from Gillette Stadium ... in their 15 home games, the Revs have scored 25 goals (1.67 goals scored per game) and conceded just 13 (0.87 goal allowed per game) ... however, on the road, those numbers are almost the complete opposite with Jay Heaps’ squad scoring 16 goals (1.14 goals per game) and conceding 27 (1.93 goals allowed per game) ... only four teams allow more goals per game on the road. REVS MAKING USE OF THEIR DEPTH Of the 31 players currently on the Revolution roster, a number that includes forward Jerry Bengston, who is currently on loan to Argentine club Belgrano, 25 have appeared in at least one game for the club this season ... the only players that have not seen any MLS action for the team this season are MID Shalrie Joseph (who has been injured for much of the campaign), FWD Andre Akpan (who was acquired from New York in mid-August), GK Larry Jackson, D/M Jossimar Sanchez, GK Luis Soffner and M Alec Sundly ... of that group, Sanchez, Soffner and Sundly spent the majority of the season on loan with the USL PRO’s Rochester Rhinos and just returned to the club last week following the end of the Rhinos’ season. HEAPS CLOSING IN ON 100 Jay Heaps is in his third season as the head coach of the Revolution and is approaching his 100th game in charge of the club ... named the head coach following the completion of the 2011 MLS campaign, Heaps has a 36-41-20 regular-season record with the club ... he is set to become the 30th coach in MLS history to lead a team for 100 or more games on October 11 when the club travels to face Montreal at Stade Saputo ... Heaps is the secondlongest tenured coach in club history and ranks second to Steve Nicol in all coaching categories ... however, he would need to nearly six more full seasons to surpass Steve Nicol for most games coached ... Nicol, served as interim head coach for two games in 1999 and was given the position permanently in 2002, replacing Fernando Clavijo, coached 301 regular-season games for the Revs departing the club after the 2011 season ... if Heaps leads the Revs back to the postseason this year, he will become the first coach in Revolution history, other than Nicol, to lead his team to the playoffs in more than one season.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY GETTING TO THE CORNER The Revolution enter the week leading MLS in corner kicks with 185 on the season, 14 more than the second-place club, the Philadelphia Union ... on July 26, the Revs tied a club record with 15 corner kicks ... since that game, the Revs are 6-3-1 and are averaging almost eight corner kicks per game in that time while averaging to concede five per contest ... Kelyn Rowe has taken a team-high 82 corners, including 60 in the last 10 games ... Chris Tierney (42) is second on the team, while Lee Nguyen (26) and Daigo Kobayashi (25) rank third and fourth ... Columbus forward Federico Higuain leads MLS with 127 corner kicks this season, while Rowe is eighth with 82 ... but despite those MLS-best 185 corner kicks, the Revs have scored just once this season diretcly from a corner ... that came on July 26 against Columbus when A.J. Soares scored his second goal of the season, heading a Kelyn Rowe corner in at the near post to tie the score at 1-1. NEUMANN IS REVS’ GO-TO MAN OFF THE BENCH Steve Neumann, who the Revolution selected fourth overall in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft, has been the Revs’ - and MLS’ - go-to man off the bench this season ... as a rookie, Neumann has made a league-high 17 substitute appearances this season, having come off the bench for all but two of his 19 league appearances ... after Neumann made his MLS debut as a substitute on April 5 at D.C. United, he appeared in 12 straight MLS games as a second-half sub between April 19 and July 16 ... he made his first career start at Dallas on July 19 ... his substitute appearance on September 3 against Sporting Kansas City was the longest of his young career, as he went 45 minutes in place of Jermaine Jones.

Substitute Appearances 18 17 16 16 15
TWO WILL DO IT Following the 2-1 win over Montreal on September 13, the Revolution are now a perfect 12-0-0 when scoring two or more goals this season ... however, the club is just 1-13-3 when scoring one goal or fewer, with the lone win coming on August 23 when the Revs beat Chivas USA,10. DRAWS NOT ADDING UP With three draws through 29 games this season, the Revs could challenge the league’s all-time low mark for draws in a 34-game season … in 2012, Colorado set the MLS record for fewest draws in a 34-game season with four ... this year, both New England and Seattle have three draws through Week 28 of the MLS season … the MLS record for fewest draws in a season was two, however those were set in both 28-game and shortened seasons: New England (2 in 2002 in 28 games), MetroStars (2 in 2002 in 28 games), D.C. United (2 in 2001 in 26 games) and Tampa Bay (2 in 2001 in 27 games). DORMAN ACTIVATED Midfielder Andy Dorman was removed from the Revolution’s disabled list on September 12, making him eligible to return to the field at any time … he has missed the last 11 games after suffering a sprained MCL in his right knee on July 12 against Chicago … Dorman, 32, was originally placed on the Disabled List on July 15 and has not played since ... before the injury, he appeared in and started 15 regular-season games, tallying one assist … he missed just two of the club’s first 17 games prior to his injury... it was announced at the time of the injury that Dorman would need 10-12 weeks for recovery … he was removed from the Disabled List ahead of the MLS roster freeze date on September 15, so that he will be available for selection after the roster freeze ... had he not been removed from the Disabled List before the 15th, he would not have been available for selection the remainder of the regular season and the MLS Cup Playoffs. MCCARTHY UNDERGOES KNEE SURGERY Stephen McCarthy underwent surgery on his left knee on September 12 to repair a torn meniscus that he suffered in training earlier this month … the fourth-year defender is expected to need approximately six weeks to rehabilitate from the procedure … McCarthy has made four appearances in all competitions season, scoring in the 3-2 win over the Richmond Kickers on June 18 in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup … his only league appearance came on July 19 when he started in central defense in New England’s 2-0 loss away to FC Dallas.
GOALSCORING HAS GONE LOCAL Local sources have played a major role in the Revs’ offensive success this season with New England products combining for nine goals and 11 assists through 29 games ... head coach Jay Heaps, who is a local product himself having been raised in Longmeadow, Mass., has relied on four players with New England roots this season: Goals: 23 percent (nine-of-39) Diego Fagundez (Leominster, Mass) Charlie Davies (Manchester, N.H.)

ATTENDANCE RISING AHEAD OF LEAGUE PACE With two home games remaining this season, the Revolution’s attendance is pacing far ahead of 2013’s attendance ... through 15 home games, the club has increased its attendance by 11.3 percent … the Revs average 15,178 fans at Gillette Stadium this year – almost 2,000 fans per game ahead of the club’s average of 13,237 through 15 games in 2013 … this season, the Revs claim MLS’ fourth-highest attendance growth rate so far, behind D.C. United (19.4%), San Jose (18.9%, which includes a match at Levi’s Stadium) and Toronto FC (18.7%) through the same number of home games a year ago ... on the season, MLS is averaging a 2.8 percent growth in attendance through the same number of games.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY
FLAG OF NEW ENGLAND
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT THE REVS
Long before the sewing of the American flag as we know it -- before there were the United States, and hundreds of years before its slightly-altered stars and stripes emerged on the Revolution club badge – a flag of a different design was flown proudly in the early colonies that now comprise New England. Historic Revolutionary War artist John Trumbull’s depiction of the Battle of Bunker Hill featured a red flag with a green pine tree, which often served as a representation of the New England colonies. While historians argue the exact dates of origin of this early flag, over time, the design stood out as a symbol of honor for the territory. It was a reflection of unification. It’s flown as an homage to the region’s pride and passion.
“I think right now, New England is the scariest prospect in the Eastern Conference.” – Brian Dunseth on NBC Sports Network (Sept. 12, 2014) “The addition of Jermaine Jones has only made (Lee) Nguyen’s talents glow brighter. He dictates the flow of the game and can both create and finish. Every week is the Lee Nguyen Show for the Revs.” – MLSSoccer.com Team of the Week: Week 27 (Sept. 15, 2014) “He’s been nothing short of spectacular in 2014, leading all MLS midfielders with 13 goals and notching four assists in 26 regular season appearances. Heading into this weekend, he has five goals and one assist in the Revs’ five-game winning streak, a run that’s vaulted New England up the Eastern Conference table and turned Nguyen into a legitimate MVP contender.” – Sam Stejskal, MLSSoccer. com, Sept. 19 “I think he’s definitely considered underrated in our league. If he’s playing in Seattle, LA or New York, I think he’s certainly a guy that would’ve been an All-Star this year.” – Dax McCarty – New York Red Bulls to MLSSoccer.com, Sept. 19
No group has more pride or passion than Revolution supporters, who have flown the flag of New England in Gillette Stadium, and the former Foxboro Stadium, since the club’s inception in 1996. With such a deep connection to both club and country on many different levels, the flag of New England now adorns the Revolution’s uniforms – both as testament to the region’s revolutionary history, and as a visual representation of the club’s supporters. Situated on the back of the jersey, at the base of the neck – a position reserved for the most meaningful representations on soccer jerseys - the flag of New England now lives in honor on the back of every New England Revolution jersey. Sitting above the players’ last names, the Revolution and supporters alike are reminded that the club holds true to its community’s historic roots in reverence, and continues to proudly represent the historic region of New England, while symbolically bringing the supporters onto the field, each and every game.

HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS Years with Club: 3 Years coaching in MLS: 3 Career Coaching Record: 36-41-20 Postseason Record: 1-1-0 Jay Heaps is in his third season as the head coach of the New England Revolution and his journey to revitalize the Revs as they return to the upper echelon of Major League Soccer continues after a breakout 2013 campaign ... Heaps has installed a new winning attitude and an exciting, possession-oriented playing style that focuses on the team’s dynamic young talent ... after qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs in his second season at the helm – and surging up the standings in the final month of 2013 – the Revs are poised for even greater improvement in 2014 ... with the team’s core set to return – one that not only turned heads offensively in 2013, but also sat near the top of the league all season defensively – the Revolution is looking to challenge for Major League Soccer’s biggest prize this season: MLS Cup ... guiding the up-start, re-built Revs to a 9-17-8 record in his first season in 2012, Heaps turned the Revolution around in 2013, taking the team to a 14-11-9 record, 51 points – the second-highest point total in club history – and a return to the postseason ... behind a precocious group of young players – highlighted by Homegrown star Diego Fagundez, Kelyn Rowe (Heaps’ first-ever draft pick) and Andrew Farrell (the number one pick in the 2013 SuperDraft) – as well as off-season signing Jose Goncalves, who ended the campaign as the league’s defender of the year, the Revolution turned heads around MLS ... after stepping away from his 11-year MLS playing career following the 2009 season, Heaps returned as the new head coach of the Revolution in November 2011 ... with his appointment, he brought to the bench some of his hallmark qualities that fans and teammates appreciated during his playing days: spirit, energy, charisma, toughness, passion and tirelessness.

^ Jossimar Sanchez was drafted by the Revolution in 2013, but injury rehabilitation prevented him from working out with the club until late in 2013. He was signed in the 2014 preseason. * NOTE: The MLS SuperDraft was combined with the MLS Supplemental Draft in 2014. In previous years, the MLS Supplemental Draft was held one week later than the MLS SuperDraft. Only Chris Tierney and Jossimar Sanchez remain on the roster as drafted Supplemental Draft players. All other Revolution college-drafted players were selected in the SuperDraft in the round noted.
