FOXBOROUGH - The Revolution plan to have Taylor Twellman in the
lineup when they visit Eastern Conference leader Columbus Saturday.
But they did not need Twellman last night, as Kheli Dube scored six
minutes into his first MLS start to help the Revolution take a 2-0
victory over the San Jose Earthquakes.
Dube, replacing Twellman (right ankle sprain), provided the
Revolution's fastest score of the season, then a 23d-minute own goal
by former New England defender James Riley allowed them to coast to
victory.
The Revolution (5-3-1, 16 points) dominated possession early,
playing through Shalrie Joseph and Steve Ralston in midfield and
Mauricio Castro on the left wing. ...
