Revs’ Rowe One Goal Shy of Team’s Open Cup Record Entering Wednesday’s Match at PC
Tuesday, June 13, 2017
New England Revolution midfielder Kelyn Rowe could make Revolution history during Wednesday night’s U.S. Open Cup match against the Rochester Rhinos at Providence College as he is one goal behind Taylor Twellman for the most career U.S. Open Cup goals.
Rowe enters the tournament with six career goals in 12 career Open Cup appearances, four of which came in 2013 when he netted two goals each against the Rochester Rhinos and New York Red Bulls. Twellman holds the club record with seven career U.S. Open Cup goals.
"The time in the Open Cup moves you forward, especially as a young guy those first couple of years. Getting those goals gave me a lot of confidence and boosted my career in MLS. I got a few starts later on in those years [after performing well in Open Cup]. The fact that I have a chance to tie and pass a legend like Taylor Twellman is obviously a huge honor," Rowe told GoLocalProv.

“I think we do pretty well in the Open Cup, especially in the first couple rounds. I think we really put out a good team and really push for it. Open Cup is a great tournament because it gives a lot of guys a lot of minutes and you can kind of mix and mingle the group. Obviously, last year we had a very good run to the final and unfortunately fell short, but we’re looking forward to the game on Wednesday and getting back. We’re playing in Providence, so that will be a fun crowd,” Rowe said in his press conference last week.

A Good Week for Rowe
It has been a good week for Rowe, who found out on June 8 that he and teammate Juan Agudelo were named to the United States National Team’s preliminary Gold Cup Roster for this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The group of players will be cut down from 40 to 23 in the upcoming weeks, with the final roster for the regional tournament, which runs from July 7 to July 26, announced no later than June 27.
“It’s making me push harder and harder each day to make that final 23. After that, it’s making the 11 and getting a chance to step on the field, because nothing’s guaranteed. It’s about working a little bit harder. It’s a great accomplishment, but there’s still more to do,” said Rowe.
Rowe is tied with Diego Fagundez with four assists on the season for the Revolution.
