\nJuan Agudelo gave the Revolution an early lead, but the Rapids were simply too much as the locals dropped a 3-1 loss in Saturday’s Desert Diamond Cup clash in Tucson, Ariz.<\/p>\n

Agudelo, who donned a clear protective mask following facial surgery last week, tallied in the 19th minute after tapping through a ball from Antonio Mlinar Delamea, who corralled a Chris Tierney corner to set up the opportunity.<\/p>\n

But the Revolution striker’s effort was the only highlight of the afternoon for New England, who coughed up a pair of goals right before the break. Caleb Calvert collected the first in the 44th minute while Boston University product Dominique Badji broke through in the 45+1 minute. Calvert secured another goal in the 60th minute. <\/p>\n
