Three goals in the latter half of the opening forty-five minutes allowed Pittsburgh Riverhounds to slip past Philadelphia Union II at Highmark Stadium in Pittsburgh on Saturday night. Steeven Dos Santos scored twice and Kenardo Forbes set the USL Championship assists record with helpers on two goals.
Sven Gartung handed Quinn Sullivan and Brandan Craig their first USL starts up front and at right fullback respectively. The goalies continued to rotate with Mitch Budler returning between the sticks.
It was a difficult first half for Gartung's young team with Axel Picazo providing the only outlet down the left.
