Chad Severs Assists On First Riverhounds Goal of 2011

The Pittsburgh Riverhounds squared off against the Richmond Kickers in the Riverhounds' first game of the 2011 USLPRO season.  The Kickers played the opening weekending, earning a win against the Orlando City Lions.  Traveling to Richmond Stadium, the Riverhounds relied upon a mixture of young talent and veteran leadership, and the veterans did not disappoint.


Trailing 1-0, after an Gerson Dos Santos strike, the Riverhounds counter, getting the ball to striker Chad Severs in the 72nd minute.  "Severs beat Richmond goalkeeper Ronnie Pascale to a ball in the box and laid the ball off to Ben Horner on the penalty spot. Horner capitalized on the opportunity to tie the score."


Severs's effort was not enough, however, as Matthew Delicate, volleyed in off of the post in the 78th minute for the game-winner.  '“It was a battle and could have gone either way,” Pittsburgh coach Justin Evans said. “Unfortunately, we came out behind.”'


Congratulations to Chad Severs for his first point of the season and good luck to both the Riverhounds and the Kickers in the 2011 USLPRO season.
