TUCSON, Ariz. – The New England Revolution took another major step towards the regular season on Wednesday afternoon, kicking off their 2016 preseason slate with a 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes at Kino Sports Complex in Tucson.
Kelyn Rowe and Charlie Davies did the damage for New England before the halftime break, while Bobby Shuttleworth (58 minutes) and Brad Knighton (32 minutes) combined to keep the clean sheet.
The result, of course, was secondary on a day both the Revs and Earthquakes used 22 different players, as the sides continue to build fitness and sharpness through the early days of preseason.
