by Robert Lee (Result | Providence Journal - May 23)
It's said that all good things must come to an end. The New England Revolution, however, refuse to buy into that theory.

by Jim Donaldson (Profile/Interview | Providence Journal - May 29)
What can you say about Freddy Adu, the 14-year-old phenom who comes to Foxboro tonight with D.C. United to play the New England Revolution?

U.S. Survives Slow Start, Blanks Grenada
by Chris Cowles (Result | Providence Journal - June 14)
The collective sigh of relief heaved by the United States National Team could be felt across Columbus Crew Stadium yesterday afternoon as the squad headed to the locker at halftime. Facing a Grenada team of mostly amateur players in the opening game of the opening leg of the CONCACAF Region second-round World Cup qualification series, the Americans were expected to win convincingly, thus making next weekend's return leg in Granada a formality. more details | go to article

Wizards Improve Road Record Against The Revolution
by Shalise Manza Young (Result | Providence Journal - June 20)
When last they met, New England handed Kansas City its first home loss in nine games dating back to last season. The Revolution had no such undefeated streak at Gillette Stadium going into last night's game. In fact, it was the Wizards who have enjoyed some success in Foxboro in recent years, having gone 3-0-1 on the Revs' home field in the teams' previous four meetings. Make that 4-0-1 over the last five. more details | go to article

Boy's Quick Thinking Begets Revolution
by Richard C. Dujardin (Article | Providence Journal - June 26)
Home with the flu, 12-year-old Bobby Botelho was looking out his window on Greenwood Avenue several weeks ago when he saw something strange: a pair of legs sticking out the back of his neighbor's van. Going out to investigate, he found his neighbor Tom Ciavola lying unconscious half inside the van. Knowing that Ciavola would occasionally get life-threatening epileptic seizures, he ran back home and called 911 -- staying on the line until rescue workers arrived. more details | go to article

New England Welcomes Win
by Shalise Manza Young (Result | Providence Journal - June 27)
With the New England Revolution in the grips of a three-game losing streak and a few pulled muscles away from not being able to field a full team, the New York/New Jersey MetroStars pulled into Gillette Stadium at just the right time. Despite coming into the game atop the MLS Eastern Conference standings, and New England having the worst record in the league, the MetroStars once again came up short against the rival Revs, as New England got a much-needed 2-1 win that wasn't as close as the final score would indicate. more details | go to article

MLS To Add Franchise In Utah For 2005
by Shalise Manza Young (Analysis | Providence Journal - July 17)

by Shalise Manza Young (Profile/Interview | Providence Journal - August 3)
He has yet to step onto the field for the New England Revolution in a game situation, but Perek Belleh is already planning the way he'll celebrate his first professional goal. Belleh, a first-team All-New England and second-team Atlantic 10 selection last fall, when he scored 12 goals for the University of Rhode Island, has been with the Revs for about two weeks, and is eagerly awaiting his first chance to get some game action under his belt. more details | go to article

Tie With Crew Keeps Revolution Barely In Hunt
by Shalise Manza Young (Result | Providence Journal - August 8)
The good news? The New England Revolution are undefeated in their last five games. The not-so-good news? Four of those results were one-point draws rather than three-point wins, after yesterday's 2-2 tie with Columbus, and the Revs aren't making much headway in the Eastern Conference standings. more details | go to article

Revs Need To Get Ball Rolling
by Shalise Manza Young (Preview | Providence Journal - August 7)
Seeing as they've done it in each of the last two seasons, is it too much to think that the New England Revolution will make another late run for the playoffs? With a dozen games to go and saddled with the worst record in Major League Soccer (4-8-6, 18 points), the Revs aren't quite sure it's dire straits time, but it is getting close. more details | go to article

by Shalise Manza Young (Preview | Providence Journal - August 21)
There are still nine matches left in the 30-game regular-season, but the New England Revolution seem to once again be getting things together for a stretch run to the playoffs. Riding a seven-game unbeaten streak (2-0-5), the Revs will host Kansas City, owners of the second-best record in MLS, tonight at 7:30 at Gillette Stadium. more details | go to article

Wizards Spell The End Of Revs' Winning Streak
by Shalise Manza Young (Result | Providence Journal - August 22)
It's not often that Revolution head coach Steve Nicol shows frustration -- or for that matter, sheer joy -- when it comes to his team, but last night he expressed his displeasure after New England's 2-1 loss to Kansas City on a wet night at Gillette Stadium. "We didn't have enough leaders on the field. We looked disorganized. It didn't look as though we were ready to die for it," Nicol said. more details | go to article
