Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release
PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC looks to build on its first win of the season when it plays Loudoun United FC at 7 p.m. this Wednesday, June 2 at Segra Field in Leesburg, Va. The match will be streamed via ESPN+.
In their last match, the Hounds (1-2-1) scored three goals on eight shots against New York Red Bulls II to earn their first win of the season last Friday. Loudoun (1-2-0) also earned its first win of the season the next night, defeating 10-man New Mexico United, 1-0.
The Hounds have never dropped a point to Loudoun, winning against the D.C. United affiliate five times since they entered the USL Championship in 2019. The five-game win streak is the Hounds' longest-active win streak against any Eastern Conference opponent.
The Hounds shut out Loudoun in each of their three matchups last season. In the first match, the Hounds scored two goals in the first 11 minutes to defeat Loudoun, 2-0, at Segra Field. Then, at Highmark Stadium, the Hounds cruised to a 3-0 victory behind two penalty kicks in the first eight minutes. Their third matchup was the most competitive, as an Albert Dikwa goal in the 81st minute was needed to secure a 1-0 victory.
A win on Wednesday could move the Hounds as high as third place in the Atlantic Division, as they play their first midweek game of the season.
