Hertzog, Campbell Named to Team of the Week
August 30, 2016 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release
PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Riverhounds forward Corey Hertzog and defender Sergio Campbell were both named to the USL Team of the Week for the first time this season, as each played a crucial role in helping the Hounds to an unbeaten week of play against Wilmington Hammerheads FC and the Harrisburg City Islanders.
Hertzog's recent goal surge continued with two more against Wilmington in a 4-1 win this past Wednesday, giving him six tallies in his past seven matches. The Hounds forward's 11 goals on the season rank him tied for fourth in the USL and he's the eighth player in club history to have recorded double-digit goals in a single season.
For Campbell, his late equalizer in a 1-1 draw against the Harrisburg City Islanders helped the Hounds secure a point on the road for the first time since July 30. The goal marked Campbell's first in a Hounds uniform as well.
Outside of scoring, both played the full 90 minutes against Wilmington and Harrisburg. Campbell's play at center back helped the Hounds defense to allow only a goal each in both their matches - the first time since May 28 that Pittsburgh has allowed one goal or less in back-to-back games this season. Hertzog, on the offensive end, generated seven shots, including five on goal, and his minutes played this season (2,050) are second only to defender Willie Hunt (2,102).
The dual weekly honors for the Hounds also marked the first time since June of last season the club has had two players named to Team of the Week - Danny Earls and Rob Vincent.
