PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Riverhounds continued their record-setting season Saturday, taking down Birmingham Legion FC in a blowout – 7-0.
It was Pittsburgh’s first ever playoff win at Highmark Stadium, and a former standout at a local university led the way.
Neco Brett, who was a star forward for Robert Morris University’s soccer team from 2012-2015, set a team playoff record with four goals Saturday night – three of which came in the first half.
Jordan Dover and Robbie Mertz each added a goal of their own. The Hounds tied a club single-game record with seven goals scored.
With the win, Pittsburgh moves on to the Eastern Conference Semifinal next week. The Hounds will host Louisville City FC on Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. at Highmark Stadium.
