2014–15 Tulsa Revolution season

April 11, 2024

The 2014–15 Tulsa Revolution season was the second season of the revived Tulsa Revolution professional indoor soccer club. The Revolution, a Central Division team in the Major Arena Soccer League, played their 2014 home games at the Cox Business Center in downtown Tulsa.[2] They relocated mid-season and played their 2015 home games in the Expo Square Pavilion at the Tulsa State Fairgrounds in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[3][4][5][6]

The team is led by team owners Adam Mellor and Shannon Clark,[7] interim head coach Alex Miranda,[8][9] and goalkeeper coach Matt Chronister.[10] The team's cheer squad, led by Rachel Masterson, is known as the "Ladies of Liberty" but inactive this season.[11] David Yates led the team to a 1–9 record as head coach in the first half of the season.[12][13][14] The Revolution finished the season with a 2–18 record, placing them 6th in the Central and out of the post-season.

Season summary edit

The Revolution began the year on an even keel, opening with a road loss to the Wichita B-52s then a home opener win over Oxford City FC of Texas. However, the team lost its next 8 straight games, home and road, then postponed a scheduled December 27 home game against the B-52s while the Revolution sought to relocate from the Cox Business Center to a less expensive venue.[3] On January 14, the team released first-year head coach David Yates after he led the team to a 1–9 record.[13][14] On January 20, assistant coach Alex Miranda was named interim head coach for the rest of the season.[6][8] While turf issues forced a cancellation and forfeit of the January 24 match against the Chicago Mustangs at the Revolution's new home arena, Expo Square Pavilion, they were resolved before the January 30 match against Saltillo Rancho Seco and the season continued.[15][16] They beat Saltillo but lost their remaining six games to finish 2–18 on the season and sixth in the six-team Central Division.

An earlier iteration of the Tulsa Revolution, also owned by Adam Mellor, played for a portion of the 2007-08 season in the American Indoor Soccer League (AISL).[17][18] That team struggled on the field but was planning for a full season in 2008–09 when the AISL folded.[19]

The Tulsa Revolution name lay dormant until July 10, 2012, when Adam Mellor and Shannon Clark were awarded a franchise as owners of an expansion team in the Professional Arena Soccer League for the 2013–14 season.[20][21][22] Tulsa struggled in their first PASL season and ultimately finished the season with a 2–14 record. The Revolution also participated in the 2013–14 United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer, beating the independent Tulsa Tea Men in the Round of 32 but falling to the PASL's Wichita B-52s in the Round of 16 game.

Off-field moves edit

In May 2014, the Professional Arena Soccer League added six refugee teams from the failed third incarnation of the Major Indoor Soccer League and reorganized as the Major Arena Soccer League.[2][23] The 2014–15 MASL season will be 20 games long, 4 more than the 16 regular season games of recent PASL seasons.[12]

With the league expansion and reorganization, the Revolution welcomed a new slate of teams to the MASL's Central division. The other Central teams for 2014–15 are the Chicago Mustangs, Milwaukee Wave, St. Louis Ambush, Wichita B-52s, and Kansas City-based Missouri Comets.

Tulsa updated their jerseys for 2014–15 with the logo of River Spirit Casino, one of the team's major sponsors, on the jersey fronts.[12] In-arena promotions for 2014 included a "Trunk or Treat Night" on October 25 in anticipation of Halloween,[24] River Spirit Casino Night on November 14, a parade of teams on November 22, youth club night on November 29, plus Faith and Fellowship Night on December 6.[25] Scheduled promotions for 2015 include Turn Tulsa Pink Night on January 24, Corporate Night on January 30, and Thank You Tulsa Night on February 20.[25]

In August 2014, the team announced that former Tulsa Roughnecks player David Yates would be their new head coach.[12][26][27] Yates is a native of Manchester, England, and has lived and worked in Tulsa for more than a decade.[12][24] He replaced Michael Nsien who led the Revolution to a 2–14 record the previous season.[2] Yates was fired in mid-January 2015 after leading the Revolution to a 1–9 record.[14] On January 20, assistant coach Alex Miranda was formally promoted in interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[16][28]
