Monarchs Paired up with Pittsburgh for Season Opener Saturday

April 15, 2010 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Real Maryland Monarchs News Release


Silver Spring, MD - The Real Maryland Monarchs open the 2010 Season this Saturday, April 17th at Richard Montgomery High School starting at 6:30 pm. The Monarchs will welcome back the Pittsburgh Riverhounds again this year after splitting their contests just one year ago.

The Riverhounds are coming off an undefeated 2010 pre-season where they were led by First Year Head Coach Justin Evans. Evans experience with US Men's National Team, MLS, USL, and MISL as well as stints in the Polish First and Second Division has given a much needed lift to Pittsburgh. It remains to be seen if he can carry it into the regular season, which is far different from pre-season play.

On the other side of the Midline is Coach Anthony Hudson. In just his first year in 2009, he led the Monarchs to their first ever post-season play in only their second year of existence. Hudson is proving to be one of the bright young minds of the game and Saturday Night should be an interesting showdown between the two former players, now head coaches.
