2017 Season Preview
positional outlook
Keasel Broome and Trey Mitchell will serve as Pittsburghs last line of defense for the 2017 campaign. Both
goalkeepers are in their first year with the Hounds. Broome arrives in Pittsburgh after starting 13 games GK
with in-state rival Harrisburg City Islanders during the 2016 season whereas Mitchell joins the Hounds after
serving as an MLS League Pool Goalkeeper since 2015. Mitchell also spent the 2016 season training with Sporting
Kansas City.
Returners: None Newcomers: Trey Mitchell, Keasel Broome Departures: Brenden Alfery, Hunter Gilstrap, Zack Steffen, Mauricio Vargas
The Pittsburgh back four comes into the 2017 season completely rebuilt, as only Ryan Adeleye and
Nick Thompson return to the club as listed defenders, while Jack Thompson returns expected to split time D
as depth in the midfield and defense. Supplanting them will be a blend of youth and experience.
Tobi Adewole (George Washington University) and Ritchie Duffie (VCU) are the rookies of the group, while Gale
Agbossoumonde (Fort Lauderdale Strikers), Rich Balchan (Ottawa Fury FC), Shane Campbell (Harrisburg City
Islanders) and Taylor Washington (Bethlehem Steel FC) all bring experience at the pro level in the U.S. Rounding
out the vets is Jamal Jack, who has played professionally in Trinidad and Tobago since 2009.
Returners: Ryan Adeleye, Jack Thompson, Nick Thompson
Newcomers: Tobi Adewole, Gale Agbossoumonde, Rich Balchan, Shane Campbell, Ritchie Duffie, Jamal Jack, Taylor Washington
Departures: Sergio Campbell, Willie Hunt, Jordan Murrell, Drew Russell, Anthony Virgara
In what is expected to be an aggressive offensive scheme, the Pittsburgh midfield will play a pivotal role on
both ends of the pitch. Returning multiple vets in captain Kevin Kerr, Danny Earls, Mike Green and M
Stephen Okai, the Hounds will have plenty of help in controlling the center of the field. Both Kerr and
Green have recorded at least 100 career appearances with the Hounds. First-year Hounds include Devaughn
Elliott, Ben Fitzpatrick, Kenroy Howell and Victor Souto. Marshall Hollingsworth and Ben Swanson join the
Hounds for a second-straight season via loan from Columbus Crew SC, as well as first-time loanee Abuchi Obinwa.
On the wings, Elliott, Fitzpatrick, Howell and Hollingsworth provide depth in the attack alongside Kerr, while Souto
and Swanson help fortify the holding midfield with Earls, Green and Okai.
Returners: Danny Earls, Mike Green, Marshall Hollingsworth, Kevin Kerr, Stephen Okai, Ben Swanson
Newcomers: Devaughn Elliott, Ben Fitzpatrick, Kenroy Howell, Abuchi Obinwa, Victor Souto
Departures: Nick Kolarac, Lebo Moloto, Melvin Snoh
Last seasons leading goal-scorer for the Hounds Corey Hertzog fronts a group stocked with youth and
potential. Scoring 13 goals this past season, Hertzog is joined by fellow returner and 2016 USL PDL MVP F
Chevaughn Walsh, who notched a goal himself in six appearances with the club last year. Meanwhile,
newcomers and former MLS SuperDraft picks Kay Banjo of UMBC and John Manga of the University of Cincinnati
also join the mix on the front line. This group expects to be supplemented by an aggressive attack on the wings
of the midfield with players like Devaughn Elliott, Kenroy Howell and Kevin Kerr all having previous experience
playing up top.
Returners: Corey Hertzog, Chevaughn Walsh Newcomers: Kay Banjo, John Manga Departures: Alejandro Aguilar, Zak Boggs, Duwayne Ewart

five years on the mon

This season the club will be celebrating Five Years on the Mon - its
fifth year playing at Highmark Stadium.
The first match ever to be played at the venue pitted the Riverhounds
against long-time rival Harrisburg City Islanders in the 2013 season
opener. In front of a sell-out of more than 4,000 in attendance, former
Hound Jose Angulo would score the first-ever goal at Highmark
Stadium, assisted by Matthew Dallman, in the 70th minute to give
Pittsburgh the lead in the second half. Unfortunately, the score would
not hold as the City Islanders responded with tallies in the 78th and
90th minute for the 2-1 victory.

Brandt joined the Hounds after spending the past seven years at the United States Naval
Academy. In his 19 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level, Brandt coached his squads
to over 300 wins and held a .786 career winning percentage (310-72-34) and is the fastest coach in

Along with his seven years at Navy, Brandt spent 12 seasons as head coach of Messiah College,

2016 Review
A Season of Endurance
The Riverhounds battled roster transformations, coaching transitions and philosophy changes during their 2016 season, the 17th year
in team history. Finishing with a 6-17-7 record, the Hounds placed No. 13 in the USL Eastern conference and No. 12 in goal differential
(31 goals forwarded and 50 goals allowed).
Less than two months before the season opener, it was announced MLS franchise D.C. United purchased midfielder Rob Vincents
contract. Vincent, who led the Hounds with 18 league goals in 2015, went on trial for D.C. United during the offseason. The
permanent transfer was completed on Feb. 16.
At the commencement of the 2016 season, Pittsburgh looked to make the USL playoffs for the second straight season under head
coach Mark Steffens. However, the team started slow and held a 0-4-3 record through its first seven games.
The struggles followed the team to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Entering in the second round of the tournament, Pittsburgh
bowed out after its first game, losing to Lansdowne Bhoys FC, 2-0, on May 18 at Highmark Stadium.
The Hounds won their first regular season match, 2-1, against Toronto FC II on May 21 at Highmark Stadium. After the game, the team
announced Steffens was relieved of his duties.
Pittsburgh announced Dave Brandt would assume head coaching responsibilities on May 22. Brandt previously coached at the United
States Naval Academy, where he was the winningest active coach at the NCAA Division I level (310-72-34). In Brandts first game with
the Hounds, the team fell, 1-0, to New York Red Bulls II on May 28 at Red Bull Arena.
To help instill his philosophy, Brandt recruited Jack and Nick Thompson to Pittsburgh. Jack signed with the Hounds on June 10 and
Nick penned his contract with the team on June 17. Nick played collegiately for Brandt at Messiah College from 2007-08. In total, the
Hounds saw 38 different players suit up for the club throughout the season.
Brandt earned his first win with the Black and Gold against FC Montreal on June 18 at Highmark Stadium. Midfielder Kevin Kerr and
forward Corey Hertzog netted goals in the 2-1 victory. Hertzog went on to lead the team with 13 goals in 2016.
Pittsburgh steadily improved in Brandts system and held a 3-3-3 record over its final nine games to close out the 2016 season. Overall,
the Hounds went 5-13-4 under the former Navy head coach.
The 2016 season was Pittsburghs fourth year at Highmark Stadium.
Notable Numbers
Corey Hertzog led the Riverhounds and
13
ranked No. 6 in the USL with 13 goals in
2016. The forward recorded one multi-score
game last season, tallying two goals against
Wilmington Hammerheads FC on Aug. 24,
2016, at Highmark Stadium. Hertzog scored 11 of his goals
under Dave Brandt, who was introduced as head coach on
May 23, 2016.
Kevin Kerr recorded his 100th career
100
appearance with the Riverhounds in their
2016 season finale against FC Cincinnati
on Sept. 24, 2016, at Highmark Stadium.
The midfielder ranks No. 10 in games
played in team history, 83 matches away from David Flavius

scheduled games during the 2016 campaign. Corey Hertzog
