My family and I were fortunate enough to attend this match. My wife taught Revs reserve forward Chris Loftus when he was at Duke, and he got us tickets to the closed match. I don't know why DCU does not open their reserve matches to the public, but there were fewer than 100 people watching. The Revs played well, the PK was deserved, and after the non-stop noise of the "senior" match it was great to be able to hear the players shouting to each other, and the sound of the ball off the foot. The Revs had several guys with pace and skill who might be worth a few minutes down the stretch--the senior guys are looking a bit gassed from all their minutes played.
