New England Revolution II News Release
HOOKSETT, N.H. - New England Revolution II (4-7-2; 16 pts.) continue their two-game homestand this weekend, hosting Crown Legacy FC (4-5-3; 17 pts.) on Sunday night at Southern New Hampshire University's Mark A. Ouellette Stadium. The match kicks off at 6:00 p.m. ET, with Mark Schoenster calling the action on MLSNEXTPro.com.
New England enters Matchweek 15 following a 1-0 clean sheet victory over New York Red Bulls II last Friday in New Hampshire. Brazilian midfielder Maciel provided all the scoring Revolution II needed in the winning effort, opening his 2024 account with a highlight-reel goal from long distance for the winning tally. Maciel's right-footed stunner was voted MLS NEXT Pro's Goal of the Matchweek 14, marking the second consecutive week a Revolution II player collected the award (Patrick Leal- Matchweek 13). Maciel remains one of three players to continue to appear in every match for Revolution II this season, along midfielders with Patrick Leal and Gevork Diarbian.
On the defensive end, New England's backline registered its first shutout performance of the 2024 campaign last weekend. Revolution II goalkeeper JD Gunn backstopped New England with a four-save effort, including a diving save in the final minutes to help seal the victory. Gunn now owns a 3-3-1 record across seven appearances in his first professional campaign.
Revolution II and Crown Legacy FC will meet for the second time this season. Crown Legacy FC leads the all-time series 2-1-0, including a 2-1 victory in the first meeting of the 2024 campaign on May 8. Revolution II defender Joshua Bolma netted his first goal of the season in the defeat. Crown Legacy enters Matchweek 15 following a 3-0 loss to Philadelphia Union 2 last Thursday.
