The Hounds take on D.C. United TOMORROW
The U.S. Open Cup match against D. C. United is only a day away, and to say we’re excited is an understatement. It’s one of the biggest games in Riverhounds history and could be the catalyst for relevance the team has been striving for since moving to Highmark Stadium.

The Riverhounds pull off the impossible 6-5 win against rival Harrisburg. Hell of a week for Pittsburgh soccer huh? After an emotional late win on Wednesday in the U.S. Open Cup the Hounds were back in action on Saturday against the Harrisburg City Islanders. This had the makings of another trap game, and for a while it looked like it was exactly that. The Hounds came out sluggish and allowed the City Islanders to pepper Hulings early. Another back line injury, this time to Pasher, and by the time the
