This will be the second of three meetings total this season between the two clubs – Hounds prevailed 4-0 in the first tilt on April 7 in Pittsburgh. • Despite no wins on the road to date, Pittsburgh has done anything but struggle in such settings. The Black and Gold has captured hard-fought draws at Nashville and Cincinnati in front of crowds well past 12,000 attending. • In general, though early, capturing at least a point on the road has been a recipe for success, as the current playoff teams have failed to record a point in only six of 26 com- bined matches so far (9-6-11). • To classify this weekend’s tilt as a road date might be somewhat of a stretch, as the Rochester setting will provide a homecoming of sorts for a large portion of the Hounds roster and staff. Playing at the home venue of the on-hiatus Rhinos, the Hounds have seven former players of their conference rival (Jordan Dover, Kenardo Forbes, Christiano François, Ray Lee, Dan Lynd, Kyle Morton, Todd Pratzner), as well as the club’s former head coach Bob Lilley and assistant coach Mark Pulisic. • One of only two remaining unbeatens in the entire league, history suggests the Hounds have a great shot to continue that success through the weekend. Pittsburgh, which has yet to trail in a match this season, is an impressive 6-0-2 in eight meetings all-time against Toronto, averaging 2.5 goals per game. • For the past doesn’t predict the future crowd, current standing also favors the Hounds to at least capture a point against the Young Reds, as the club is tied for the league lead with five clean sheets on the season in contrast to Toronto, which has scored only two goals in six contests to date. • Additionally, the Hounds are most recently coming off a shutout effort against Atlanta, which saw them allow zero shots on goal. • The early-season team success has translated to the individual level with the Hounds placing on four of the seven USL Team of the Weeks so far. • Defender Tobi Adewole leads the way with two nominations, including one this past week, while rookie midfielder Thomas Vancaeyezeele and forward Neco Brett round out the group. Brett’s nomination – the lone Player of the Week honor of the four – came after he potted a hat trick against Toronto in early April. 2018 SCHEDULE & RECORD League Record: 3-0-3 Home: 3-0-1 • Away: 0-0-2 • Non-League Play: 0-0-0 MARCH Sat. 24 @Nashville SC CW T, 0-0 Sat. 31 PENN FC CW T, 0-0 APRIL Sat. 7 TORONTO FC II YouTube W, 4-0 Sat. 14 OTTAWA FURY FC ESPN+ W, 1-0 Sat. 21 @FC Cincinnati CW T, 2-2 Sat. 28 ATLANTA UNITED 2 ESPN+ W, 1-0 MAY Sat. 5 @Toronto FC II CW 6 p.m. Fri. 11 INDY ELEVEN ESPN+ 7 p.m. Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round Two Wed. 16 @TBD N/A 7 p.m. Sat. 19 @Tampa Bay Rowdies CW 7:30 p.m. Sat. 26 PENN FC ESPN+ 7 p.m. Wed. 30 NASHVILLE SC ESPN+ 7 p.m. JUNE Sat. 2 @Richmond Kickers CW 7 p.m. Sat. 16 NEW YORK RED BULLS II CW 7 p.m. Sat. 23 @Charleston Battery CW 7 p.m. Wed. 27 @Louisville City FC ESPN+ 7 p.m. JULY Wed. 4 NORTH CAROLINA FC ESPN+ 7 p.m. Sun. 8 @Ottawa Fury FC ESPN+ 1 p.m. Sat. 21 CHARLESTON BATTERY ESPN+ 7 p.m. Sat. 28 @North Carolina FC CW 7 p.m. AUGUST Wed. 1 RICHMOND KICKERS ESPN+ 7 p.m. Sat. 4 TORONTO FC II ESPN+ 7 p.m. Sun. 12 @Bethlehem Steel FC CW 5 p.m. Sat. 18 CHARLOTTE INDEPENDENCE ESPN+ 7 p.m. Wed. 22 TAMPA BAY ROWDIES ESPN+ 7 p.m. Wed. 29 @Indy Eleven ESPN+ 7 p.m. SEPTEMBER Sat. 1 @FC Cincinnati CW 7:30 p.m. Sat. 8 BETHLEHEM STEEL FC ESPN+ 7 p.m. Sat. 15 LOUISVILLE CITY FC ESPN+ 7 p.m. Sat. 22 INDY ELEVEN ESPN+ 7 p.m. Wed. 26 @Penn FC ESPN+ 6:30 p.m. Sat. 29 @Charlotte Independence CW 7 p.m. OCTOBER Sat. 6 FC CINCINNATI ESPN+ 7 p.m. Wed. 10 @Atlanta United 2 ESPN+ 7 p.m. Sun. 14 @New York Red Bulls II CW 5 p.m. 2018 Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC > riverhounds.com > @RiverhoundsSC > #TORvPGH LAST TIME OUT Last Game Summary Riverhounds SC 1, Atlanta United 2 0 Game 6 • Highmark Stadium • April 28, 2018 INDIVIDUAL Category Riverhounds SC Opponent Points 7 - Neco Brett vs. Toronto (4/7) 2 - Two times Goals 3 - Neco Brett vs. Toronto (4/7) 1 - Two times Assists 1 - Six tied 1 - Corben Bone, Cincinnati (4/21) Shots 6 - Neco Brett vs. Toronto (4/7) 6 - Lebo Moloto, Nashville (3/24) SOG 3 - Neco Brett vs. Toronto (4/7) 2 - Lebo Moloto, Nashville (3/24) Saves 3 - Dan Lynd at Cincinnati (4/21) 4 - Romuald Peiser, Penn FC (3/31) TEAM Hounds High Hounds Low Category Opp High Opp Low 11 - vs. Toronto (4/7) 0 - Two times Points 5 - at Cincinnati (4/21) 0 - Five times 4 - vs. Toronto (4/7) 0 - Two times Goals 2 - at Cincinnati (4/21) 0 - Five times 3 - vs. Toronto (4/7) 0 - Two times Assists 1 - at Cincinnati (4/21) 0 - Five times 16 - vs. Toronto (4/7) 10 - Two times Shots 13 - at Cincinnati (4/21) 3 - vs. Ottawa (4/14) 4 - Two times 2 - Two times SOG 5 - at Cincinnati (4/21) 0 - vs. Atlanta (4/28) 3 - at Cincinnati (4/21) 0 - vs. Atlanta (4/28) Saves 4 - vs. Penn FC (3/31) 0 - Two times 16 - vs. Penn FC (3/31) 9 - at Nashville (3/24) Fouls 17 - at Cincinnati (4/21) 6 - vs. Toronto (4/7) SUPERLATIVES CLUB NOTABLES All-Time Leading Goal Scorer ......................................................................
