The New England Revolution continued their preseason schedule on Friday afternoon with 3-0
scrimmage victory over Boston College at Gillette Stadium. Rookie Kelyn Rowe led the Revs with two
goals in the win.
The Revs started the match with most of their veterans on the pitch. Matt Reis started in goal
with Chris Tierney, A.
Saër Sène, the New England Revolution's new striker, might be 6-foot-3, but despite that large
frame the French striker isn't a typical target forward.
Instead, Sène, who has spent the last two seasons with German side Bayern Munich II, will help
the Revs by using his skill and pace to get behind the opposition's defense, according to head
coach Jay Heaps.

Those familiar with seeing Shalrie Joseph pushing forward and becoming heavily involved in the
attack may see less of it in 2012, depending on the New England Revolution captain's midfield
partner.
Preseason? We're talking about preseason here? Yes we are. After all, only so much can be taken
away from a 2-1 win over a fourth division side. And while beating Boston College a few times is
nice, it is still only beating a college team. The beginning of the FC Tucson Desert Diamond Cup is
the first opportunity to see the Revolution compete against MLS competition.
