Even with the relative position of the teams, Loudoun United has had problems with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, losing nine of the first ten games the pair have played since the Red-and-White’s inception. And even a underachieving Hounds team is not one to be trifled with as Loudoun learned Sunday night, losing 2-1 in front of 2,020 fans at Segra.
The XI responsible for Wednesday’s win over Memphis returned, as Jeremy Garay, Jacob Greene, Ted Ku-DiPietro, Hayden Sargis, and Gaoussou Samaké came down from D.C. United. Abdellatif Aboukoura and Gavin Turner joined from the Academy, and Kristian Fletcher made his first Loudoun lineup after his Wednesday MLS debut.
