GAME 7 RECAP: Hounds Fall to Cincy

The Hounds traveled to “THE” rival FC Cincinnati but came home empty; falling 1-0 to the home team. I mentioned on Twitter that if this was another year under different circumstances this wouldn’t have been too bad of a loss. It was another match where the Hounds seemed to play pretty well for stretches, but it’s 2016 and here we are. The Hounds are once again winless in their first seven, the third time in four years. Coach Steffens talked about making some changes after the loss to Red Bulls

Kerr said the guys are in good spirts and have used the incident and the bad start as

GAME 6 RECAP: Off the Rails

Saturday was a season defining moment, but not in a way any of us expected or wanted. What Parkes did to Ouimette in the waning moments of the game is indefensible. It’s fortunate Ouimette wasn’t seriously injured and was able to travel home with his team. The kick and ensuing coverage brought a black mark to the Riverhounds and the USL. For a club and league that wants to be taken seriously there was only one acceptable response to it- the immediate suspension and cutting of Romeo Parkes. A lot
