PITTSBURGH (April 10, 2017) – The Pittsburgh Riverhounds (1-1-1) face a quick turnaround, looking to build off their first win of the season, as they take on Saint Louis FC (2-0-1) at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12 at Highmark Stadium.
The Hounds are amidst a brutal three-game stretch in seven days. Already completing the trip to Charleston, South Carolina with a 2-1 victory, Pittsburgh will face Saint Louis midweek before traveling to Charlotte, North Carolina to play the Independence on Saturday, April 15.
Pittsburgh and Saint Louis have not met since the 2015 season (0-0-2 all-time), last playing to a 1-1 draw in the latter’s inaugural season home opener on April 11. The Hounds will also see the return of José Angulo, who won the USL Pro MVP and Golden Boot with Pittsburgh in 2013 and is tied for fourth all-time in club history in goals scored (23).
Additionally, the midweek match falls one day before the official five-year anniversary of Highmark Stadium opening on April 13, 2013. Angulo played a major role in that match as well, scoring the first-ever goal at the stadium in an eventual 2-1 loss to Harrisburg.
Fans can catch all the action via USL Match Center or watch the stream live on YouTube.
