It’s the official mid-season point for the Riverhounds.
The Hounds have made it halfway through an unprecedented United Soccer League 32-game regular season on the bottom side of the Eastern Conference table, currently in 11th place out of 15 teams.
With one win though, the Hounds can climb back above the playoff line on Saturday as they begin a three-game road swing over the course of the next three weekends by visiting the spectacular new Orlando City Stadium to take on Orlando City B (7:30 p.m.).
• Who: Riverhounds (5-6-4) vs. Orlando City B (6-3-4)
• When: 7:30 p.m.
• Where: Orlando City Stadium, Orlando, Fla.
• Video: USL YouTube
• Boxscore: USL Match Center

You’ll find my complete pregame notes and the live file to follow the game at DK Pittsburgh Sports.
