PITTSBURGH, PA -- The Pittsburgh Riverhounds are in the island nation of Bermuda to face the Hogges in two United Soccer Leagues Second Division matches on July 2nd and 4th.

They will be the second and third matches of the 2009 season between the sides. Pittsburgh claimed a 1-0 victory over the Hogges on June 11th at Chartiers Valley Stadium.

Pittsburgh is 3-5-3 (12-points) and in eighth place in USL-2. Bermuda is in ninth and last place with a mark of 3-8-2 (11-points).

The Hounds are coming off a 2-1 loss to the Richmond Kickers in a match played last Friday at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania during the PA West Open Tournament before 1,518 fans. It counted as a home game for Pittsburgh, despite the fact that it was played almost two hours north of the city.

The Hounds will be on the road for four straight; the two in Bermuda, then on July 11 they face Real Maryland before traveling to Harrisburg on July 18th.

If there is a consolation, Pittsburgh will be home for its last five consecutive regular season games beginning on July 24th and 26th when they host the Western Mass Pioneers for two games.

Pittsburgh will be home to Wilmington on August 1st, Charlotte on August eighth, and Crystal Palace Baltimore on August 15th.
