Gameday: Duquesne University vs. Pittsburgh Riverhounds
7PM – Highmark Stadium There are a couple different things going on today, and we don’t have a clue who will be starting or appearing for the Hounds in their final preseason game. Duquesne comes down from the bluff to visit their neighbors. The Dukes were our most successful stop on the Steel Army College Tour. A very lively group of Rooney’s Goonies joined us in watching their club play George Mason to a tie. There is a rumor that the Goonies could be making an appearance at Highmark, tonight.

By @SAdyson Well, this should make a lot of people feel better. After controlling possession yet still trailing 1-0 due to a Robert Morris PK, the Hounds looked frustrated. A goal by Angulo broke the ice, and he followed through with 2 more goals to cap off a 5-2 Riverhounds victory over Robert Morris University.

7PM – Highmark Stadium The caravan of college clubs to come through the Highmark continues, as Bobby Mo travels out from the airport for another preseason friendly.

Bill Denniston’s squad should feature forward Neco Brett, from Jamaica, who led RMU with 14 goals over the past season. In addition to Brett, Canada’s Bruce Cullen, the club’s leading assist man from 2013, should play, as

By @SAdyson The Hounds won, but arguably against one of the worst soccer teams in the ACC. They came out flat at the beginning of the game but turned up the heat in the second half. Hunter earned a clean sheet and made enough saves to keep the Hounds in the game. Vincent and C’deBaca picked up the two goals for the Hounds. NOTES: Miro Cabrillo > Mike Seth, hands down.

7PM – Highmark Stadium With the 2014 season drawing near and the two toughest preseason games in the rear-view, it’s time for local college friendlies to commence at the Highmark. That begins with a visit from the kids up in Oakland as Joe Luxbacher rolls his woeful Pitt squad down into Station Square. The 2013 vintage of Pitt’s mens soccer team is probably one that everyone associated with the University would like to move past. Our visit to Ambrose Urbanic Field, as a part of the 2013 Steel Army College Tour™,
