PITTSBURGH (Oct. 20, 2026) — Pittsburgh Riverhounds goalkeeper Nico Campuzano was named to the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 33 after his shot-stopping helped the Hounds secure a 1-1 draw on the road at Rhode Island FC last Saturday.
Campuzano produced five saves on the night, none bigger than denying a penalty kick by Leo Afanso in the 56th minute when the match was still scoreless. The Hounds keeper correctly dove to his left to stop the shot, which kept the team in position to earn a critical point and preserve an outside chance at a top-four finish and home match to open the playoffs next week.
It was the fifth time this season Campuzano has made five or more saves in a match, and the penalty save was his first of the year, which came on the third PK he has faced in his first season with the Hounds. Campuzano has been named to the Team of the Week three times this season, including his Player of the Week performance back in Week 10 at Louisville.
The Hounds will wrap up the regular season this Saturday, Oct. 24, when they face Birmingham Legion FC at 7 p.m. at F.N.B. Stadium. Tickets for the Fan Appreciation Night match are still available via Ticketmaster or by calling the box office at 412-865-GOAL.
