Dani Rovira and Anthony Velarde are both in their third seasons at Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, where the duo broke into the professional ranks prior to the 2019 season after their college careers. Rovira and Velarde have both been key elements to the Hounds' consistent success, with Velarde having recorded 10 goals and seven assists in 65 regular season appearances in midfield, and Rovira having recently passed 2,000 minutes of action in 41 appearances in a defensive role for the squad.

Both have Hispanic heritage, with Rovira having moved from his native Colombia to compete collegiately in the United States and Velarde hailing from California. The two Hounds sat down recently with the USL's Maury Urcadez to talk about how the Spanish language and their love for the game brought them each a friend for life.
