One of Buffalo’s pros is done for the season, as University at Buffalo grad Daniel Stevens, currently under contract with FC Viikingit in Finland, has returned home. With the league season wrapping up and Stevens’ spot in the lineup being tenuous, the club and the player mutually agreed to shut it down.
Elsewhere, Bobby Shuttleworth’s New England Revolution remain hot and are approaching the MLS Playoffs on a roll.
