TUCSON, Ariz. – Jay Heaps had a simple message for his New England Revolution players as they entered halftime of Saturday night’s Desert Diamond Cup match trailing the New York Red Bulls.

The Revs answered their coach’s call with an inspired second-half performance, scoring three unanswered goals to turn a 1-0 deficit into a convincing 3-1 win. Lee Nguyen and Jerry Bengtson scored six minutes apart to give New England its first lead of the preseason, while training camp invitee Marko Jesic added a late insurance goal.
