USL Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC

Riverhounds Complete Three Game Home Stand

June 29, 2012 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release


Pittsburgh-The Pittsburgh Riverhounds wrap-up a three game home stand this Saturday night when they welcome the Orlando City Lions. The Riverhounds and Lions are both unbeaten in their last three games and will look to maintain this form heading into the final six weeks of the season. With both Clubs looking to put together results heading into the playoffs, Saturday night's game should be filled with physical challenges, exciting combinations, and quality scoring opportunities. The game is scheduled for a 7:00 PM kickoff at Chartiers Valley Stadium.

Led by an extremely sophisticated and aggressive ownership group, under the direction of Phil Rawlins, Orlando City has garnered significant interest from Major League Soccer (MLS) as a potential future expansion franchise. The Lions, who currently play at the Florida Citrus Bowl, are determined to prove their dominance within the USL PRO division. The Riverhounds, who began construction of their downtown stadium this week, will look to show their own class and motivations when the whistle blows.

Riverhounds Last Time Out

The Riverhounds are coming off an exciting come-from-behind home victory last Friday night against the Wilmington Hammerheads. The Hammerheads recorded the game's first goal in the 50th minute when Manny Guzman tapped home from four yards out. The Riverhounds drew even with the visiting side seven minutes later when Matt Kassel converted from the penalty spot. The Riverhounds found the game-winning goal in 82nd minute when Mike Seth delivered a brilliant back-post service to connect with Darren Amoo's head.

Lions Last Time Out

The Lions are coming off a decisive 3-0 home victory over the Harrisburg City Islanders last Friday night. The Lions received a goal from Matt Luzunaris in the closing seconds of the first half. Coming out of the break with a one goal lead, the Lions opened the second half with style when Dennis Chin found the back of the net on a class goal from distance. Chin added his second tally of the game in the 70th minute to seal the game for the Lions.

Tickets for Saturday's game can be purchased by calling into the Riverhounds office at 412.539.1191 or at the ticket gates on game day.
