The Revolution had a promising start to their 2018 campaign, collecting more points in the first half of the season than they had in any year in the past decade. They did so with an ultra-aggressive high press and by finishing their chances (30 goals in the first 17 games), as Teal Bunbury led the squad with 10 goals by the end of June.
Matt Turner earned his starting spot and quickly established himself as one of the brightest young American goalkeepers in the league. His improved distribution often sparked dangerous counterattacks and facilitated possession in the final third.
