Revolution snap winless stretch with victory over D.C.

WASHINGTON -- The New England Revolution have been looking for a ray of hope in their recent streak of futility, and they finally got one Wednesday night.

Rookie Stephen McCarthy headed in Chris Tierney's 74th-minute corner kick, and the Revolution held off D.C. United for a 1-0 win to complete a season sweep in front of 15,597 at RFK Stadium and snap a nine-game winless stretch.
