CLUB 4 HISTORY 2002 The Tampa Bay Mutiny and the Miami Fusion ceased operations in the off-season, and the Revs acquired Steve 12-14-2 Ralston in the resulting Allocation Draft. New England also took Taylor Twellman with the second pick in the MLS MLS CUP PLAYOFFS SuperDraft and acquired goalkeeper . The Revs went 1-2-1 on their season-opening road trip, before MLS CUP 2002 defeating the Dallas Burn 2-0 on May 11 in the first event held at the newly-constructed, $325 million Gillette Stadium. Twellman tallied twice in the win - two of his 23 goals that season. On May 23, one day after a 5-2 loss at Colorado, Clavijo was fired, replaced on an interim basis by assistant coach Steve Nicol. The Revs went 5-0-1 down the stretch, clinching a playoff berth on the final day of the season. New England then defeated the Chicago Fire in the MLS Cup Quarterfinals, the club's first playoff series victory, before earning a series victory over Columbus in the Eastern CLUB Conference Championship to advance to MLS Cup 2002. A league-record crowd of 61,316 at Gillette Stadium saw the HISTORY Revs and Galaxy play a scoreless 90 minutes, sending the match into golden-goal extra time when L.A.'s Carlos Ruiz sent the New England crowd home disappointed, scoring the winner in the 113th minute. After earning MLS Coach of the Year, the Revs named Nicol head coach of the team on Nov. 6.

2003 Joe-Max Moore returned after a three-year stint in England with Everton, and the Revs also added key newcomers Pat 12-9-9 Noonan, Shalrie Joseph and to the fold. The Revs struggled in the middle portion of the season, going two MLS CUP PLAYOFFS months without a win, and New England found itself mired in fifth place in early September. But the Revs went 6-0-1 to CONFERENCE FINAL close the season and clinched second place in the Eastern Conference. The Revs entered the playoffs with team MVP Twellman (15 goals) sidelined with a fractured left foot, and Noonan instead led the team as it posted a 3-1 aggregate victory over the MetroStars in the MLS Cup Quarterfinals. In the semifinals, the Revs faced Chicago at the newly-refur- bished and after a scoreless 90 minutes, scored the Golden Goal in the 11th minute to knock the Revs out of the playoffs. The Revs were the highest scoring team in MLS (55 goals) in the regular season.

2004 It was a roller coaster season, with the Revs earning a 1-4-2 mark through April and May before stringing together a 8-13-9 seven-game midsummer unbeaten run. Multiple injuries saw unheralded players like Andy Dorman get valuable game MLS CUP PLAYOFFS experience and Matt Reis step up as the starting goalkeeper, but as September began, the Revs sat in last place. After CONFERENCE FINAL two losses to open the month, the Revs made another late-season push going 3-2-0 down the stretch and requiring a 2-1 home victory over Chicago on the last night of the season to clinch a playoff berth. New England defeated the Columbus Crew in the conference semifinals - helped by Reis' two penalty kick saves in Game Two of the series. The Revs then played one of the league's all-time classic matches in the Eastern Conference Final at RFK Stadium, a 3-3 thriller against D.C. United, which saw New England fall to the eventual champions on penalty kicks after three times coming back from one-goal deficits, capped by Noonan's 85th minute equalizer. Also in 2004, Twellman scored his 42nd goal as a member of the Revolution to become the club's all-time leading goal scorer and earned MLS Rookie of the Year honors.

2005 The Revolution had its best regular season in club history, setting team records for wins (17) and points (59). The Revs 17-7-8 also set records with their six-game winning streak that was part of the club-record 11-game, season-opening unbeaten MLS CUP PLAYOFFS streak. In the MLS Cup Conference Semifinals, the Revs rallied from a 2-0 aggregate-goals deficit against the MLS CUP 2005 MetroStars in the match's final half hour, sending New England to the Eastern Conference championship round for a fourth straight year. At home, the Revs downed Chicago, 1-0, on a fourth-minute Dempsey goal and moved onto MLS Cup to face familiar championship foes, the L.A. Galaxy. The Revs were not their best at Pizza Hut Park, and New England fell to LA, 1-0, in double . It was a disappointing end to a remarkable season, though the team won many individual accolades, including Twellman claiming MLS MVP honors, and Dempsey, Joseph and Twellman earn- ing spots on the league's Best XI squad

2006 Although the Revs returned the majority of their roster from the record-setting 2005 squad, a rash of injuries and inter- 12-8-12 national call-ups limited the Revs' early-season success. Dempsey (U.S.) and Avery John (Trinidad & Tobago) were MLS CUP PLAYOFFS both named to their countries’ World Cup squads and missed seven weeks of MLS action. Managing the lengthy injury MLS CUP 2006 list in light of the World Cup absences, Nicol was forced to play a different starting 11 almost every game to contend with his personnel shortages. But in what had become an annual ritual, the Revs assembled another late-season run, going 5-0-2 to close the schedule and surge into the playoffs. The Revs defeated Chicago in a two-game semifinal playoffs series, coming back from a two-goal aggregate deficit at home in Game Two - as they had in '05 - to earn the series victory in penalty kicks. Reis saved two Chicago attempts while the Revs converted all four of their shots to advance to the Eastern Conference Championship. In D.C., the Revs played spoilers, downing United, 1-0, for the con- ference crown behind Twellman's fourth-minute strike to advance to MLS Cup for the third time in club history. Returning to Frisco, Texas, for the second year in a row, the Revs had a similar result as 2005, however, as the Houston Dynamo was crowned champion after winning on penalty kicks, 4-3. Twellman saw a 113th-minute go-ahead goal in extra time negated by a tally just over a minute later to make it 1-1 in the second extra time ses- sion.
