MARBELLA, Spain – Teal Bunbury’s 2018 season mirrored the New England Revolution’s in many ways.
At the campaign’s midway mark the Revs were perched comfortably in 5th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 7-4-6, their best first half in a decade. Bunbury, meanwhile, had already hit for a career-high 10 goals and was firmly in the mix for the league’s Golden Boot.
The season’s second half wasn’t quite as fruitful, however, at least not in terms of goal-scoring output. Bunbury scored just once in the final four months and the Revs won just three more games, missing out on the playoffs for a third straight year.
