Revolution left back Chris Tierney and midfielder Teal Bunbury were both named to the MLSSoccer.com Team of the Week<\/a> for their performances during a relatively quiet week 4 of league action.<\/p>\n

Tierney scored the equalizer in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at New York City FC, collected four key passes, and completed 73.9 percent of his passes. \u00a0His 90-minute performance was good enough to be named the Man of the Match by whoscored.com, which gave him a match-best 8.82 rating.<\/p>\n

Bunbury won a team-high four aerial challenges, fired two shots, and connected on 75 percent of his passes during his 79-minute shift against City. On the defensive end, he recorded three interceptions, and on the whole, garnered a 7.72 player rating from whoscored.com.<\/p>\n

Center back Andrew Farrell earned an honorary mention.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former Western Mass Pioneer Tommy McNamara earned spot on the Team of the Week after scoring City’s lone goal in the 10th minute. He recorded a game-high five shots on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Revolution were one of four teams that had multiple representatives on the Team of the Week following a week 4 slate that only featured four matches. FC Dallas led the way with four (Fabian Castillo, Max Urruti, Michael Barrios, and Mauro Diaz) following a 3-0 drubbing of DC United.<\/p>\n
