Watch on-line LIVE on @UNATION
The Hounds just came off of a huge win in Harrisburg and now have to take care of business in the Highmark.
Antigua has not earned a point all season. Despite this, the Hounds need to make sure that they do not take them for granted.
The last time these two teams played each other, the Hounds were reduced to ten players early by a red card by Mike Seth. Despite this, they rallied to a 2-0 win over Antigua.
We need goals, and we need them quickly. The longer this game stays tied, the more likely it becomes that Antigua steals its first point of the season.
LAST MEETING: May 24th, 2013 – Highmark Stadium, Pitsburgh, PA – 2-0 Hounds
HOUNDS PLAYER TO WATCH: Sterling Flunder, D – In Harrisburg, Flunder was the reason why several goals were not scored by the opposing side. Patrolling the middle of the field, Sterling cleared several dangerous chances by the Islanders due to lapses by the wing backs. Expect Flunder to be busy in the middle of the field today making sure that Antigua has no chance of getting into this game today.
