Following the match, Pittsburgh Soccer Now was there to get reaction from Hounds Head Coach Bob Lilley and forward Albert Dikwa (see below), who added his 18th and 19th goals of the season to build on the lead in the race to earn the USL Championship’s Golden Boot.  Kenardo Forbes also added an assist to boost his total to 10 for the season, good for a tie in the league lead and Dani Rovira had the other assist, his fifth of the season.

The Hounds also wrapped up their regular season home schedule, by surpassing the club’s regular season attendance record, following Saturday night’s attendance of 6,240, they ended up averaging 5,012 fans per match in 17 home league regular season matches.

“We are here to win for them. They came out for us all season. And we are grateful for their support. They really do make a difference,” Albert Dikwa.
