Hartford Athletic News Release


PITTSBURGH, PA - Hartford Athletic dropped a hard-fought battle on the road Saturday night, falling 1-0 to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Highmark Stadium.

Hartford showed early promise with sharp ball movement and solid defensive shape, limiting Pittsburgh's chances through the opening 45 minutes. Defender Joe Farrell, making his return to Pittsburgh, led a disciplined back line that frustrated the Riverhounds' attack and helped keep the match scoreless heading into halftime.

The game opened up in the second half, with both teams pushing for a breakthrough. Pittsburgh broke the deadlock in the 75th minute when Danny Griffin headed one past Hartford keeper Antony Siaha to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.

Despite a late push from Hartford the equalizer didn't come, and the Green and Blue were forced to settle for a narrow defeat.

Hartford Athletic returns home next Saturday, March 29th for the regular season home opener to face off against El Paso Locomotive at Trinity Health Stadium. Kickoff is set for 2:00 p.m.
