Game Notes:

Team Rosters:

Pittsburgh: Harrisburg:

· The Riverhounds (5-15-4) head to Harrisburg to face the City Islanders (7-14-4) in the third and final leg of the Keystone Derby Cup presented by the Pennsylvania Lottery and K&L Gates. Harrisburg currently holds a 2-1 lead over Pittsburgh on aggregate thanks to a 2-1 victory on July 17 at Highmark Stadium – the clubs battled to a 0-0 draw in their first meeting this season on July 4. The Hounds are the reigning Cup champions, beating Harrisburg in three of four head-to-head meetings in 2015 by a combined total of 16-to-12.

· Pittsburgh is coming off a stellar showing against Wilmington at home, scoring four goals for the second time this season in a 4-1 victory over the Hammerheads. The three first half goals from Corey Hertzog, Willie Hunt and Nick Thompson, respectively, were a season-high for a half, as the Hounds stifled their visitors to only one shot in the match’s first 45. The victory also gave the Hounds back-to-back wins at home for the first time since July of last season.

· After dropping four-straight in July, the Hounds have quietly battled to a 3-3 record in their past six matches with an even goal differential of zero – 12 goals for and against. Now with the opportunity to win back-to-back matches for the first time since August 8 of last year, Pittsburgh will also look to right its woes on the road, currently holding a record of 1-7-3. The City Islanders, meanwhile, are 3-7-2 at home sharing time between FNB Field (1-5-2) in Harrisburg and Clipper Magazine Stadium (2-2) in Lancaster and have dropped five of their last six home dates.

· Corey Hertzog continues to dazzle on the offensive end for Pittsburgh, now with 11 goals and 26 points on the season – both good for third-best in the USL. The forward has now scored more goals in a single season than any other Hounds player save for Rob Vincent (18) and Jose Angulo (13) since 2013 and is only the eighth player in club history to have hit double-digits in goals in a single season. Hertzog trails Los Angeles’ Jack McBean for the league lead in goals and points by four goals (15) and six points (32), respectively.
