SANDY, Utah – It was an evening short on silver linings, but Mark Segbers provided a rare bright spot for the New England Revolution on Thursday night at Rio Tinto Stadium, making an energetic MLS debut in the Revs’ 4-1 loss to Real Salt Lake.
Segbers, selected ninth overall in this year’s MLS SuperDraft, took over at right back to start the second half. Although he entered a match that the Revs already trailed 3-0, he was active up and down the right side of the field, completing 22 of 34 passes while making five recoveries, two tackles and an interception.
