PITTSBURGH (February 15, 2019) – Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC tied Duquesne University, 0-0, on Friday at Highmark Stadium.
Logging the shutout for the Hounds were Kyle Morton, playing the first half, and Ben Lundgaard, playing the second 45 minutes. Pittsburgh has not yet allowed a goal in preseason action (three games).
