PITTSBURGH (July 21, 2026) — Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC forward Trevor Amann was named the USL Championship Player of the Week for Week 19/20 after a historic scoring outburst last week, the league announced this afternoon.
Amann finished the week with four goals in two matches, which was highlighted by the fastest-ever hat trick in a professional league in the United States. He needed only 3 minutes and 27 seconds to rack up his three goals in the Hounds’ 3-1 win Saturday over Louisville City FC in front of a national CBS audience.
That spectacular stretch came after Amann scored during the Hounds’ midweek match at Sporting Jacksonville, sending Amann into the team lead with nine goals across all competitions in 2026, including five in USL Championship play.
Amann is the third Hounds player to win Player of the Week this season after Albert Dikwa took the honor in Week 7 and Nico Campuzano got top honors in Week 10. He is also the first Hounds player to have at least four goals in a two-match stretch since Russell Cicerone bagged five across consecutive matches against Atlanta and Hartford on Aug. 22 and 28, 2021.
Joining Amann on the USL Championship Team of the Week, presented by SiteOne, is Hounds midfielder Eliot Goldthorp, who earned one of the bench spots in the league honors. Goldthorp assisted Amann’s goal in the Jacksonville match and was a dangerous playmaker through both the week’s matches with 13 total crosses — most on the team — and four chances created, which was tied with Robbie Mertz for the most on the week.
