It was a dark and gloomy night at Highmark Stadium, but the Pittsburgh Riverhounds still won 1-0 against Miami FC, extending their winning streak to three games and their record to even three games. -3 wins, 2 losses in league play in 2024.
Before the game, a moment of silence was held in honor of Terry “TC” Shallenberger, the father of team owner Tuffy Shallenberger. Terry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and avid Hounds fan and will be missed by the entire River Hounds family.
PSN's Colton Colesi was at Highmark Stadium reporting on the game for PSN (see Colton's postgame report here), and Ed Thompson was on hand to capture footage of the festivities and action.
Following the win, there was a lot of reaction on Twitter from around HoundTahn. It is shown below.

Second half — still holding a 1-0 lead — the Hounds maintained their poor conversion rate this season. #PITvMIA https://t.co/DZfhsil36m

IMO, we haven't seen the best of them yet, but it's most encouraging that Sterling has found his groove. https://t.co/LTbutTOIuL

Sterling ice cold? Yes. But what about Nutmeg and Eto's assists? 😱#houndturn | @pghsoccernow https://t.co/hX9TxrSMbv

16 minutes – Goal Hound! Kazaiah Sterling scores a gorgeous little nutmeg on the left and whips in a cross from Junior Eto’o! This is Sterling's second time this year, and the good times continue at Highmark.#houndturn | @pghsoccernow
