The Pittsburgh Riverhounds have recently hit the mid-season point in their season.
The Hounds (5-7-5, 20 points after 17 games) are showing some shades of improvement, but still, there’s much work to be done, as they remain below the playoff line — sitting in 11th place of 15 teams in the USL’s Eastern Conference.
There is hope though, as the Hounds are only a two points away from the playoff line and with a win streak, can easily jump right into the top half of the conference table.
This weekend, I took some time to prepare a detailed, position-by-position look at the team and its coach, as they’ve battled through the first half of the season.
