RIVERHOUNDS® OPEN SEASON WITH WIN
Saturday, April
20 2002
PITTSBURGH -
The Pittsburgh RIVERHOUNDS® opened the 2002 season with a 2-1
victory over the visiting Toronto Lynx in front of 2,068 fans at
Bethel Park Stadium. Forwards Michael
Apple and Phil Karn combined for both goals for the RIVERHOUNDS®.
Karn opened the
scoring in the 10th minute after Apple flicked a throw in toward the
box (left). Karn one-touched the ball past Lynx goalkeeper
Theo Zagar.
The Lynx, who open the season with eight
consecutive games on the road, tied the score in the 40th minute
when midfielder David DiPlacido knocked a rebound from forward
Irasto Knights past RIVERHOUNDS® net minder Randy
Dedini.
Karn and Apple
combined again in the 82nd minute when Karn played a through ball to
Apple at the top of the penalty box. Apple fired a shot past Zagar
into the upper right corner of the goal.
The Lynx had a
chance to tie the score in stoppage time at the end of the game when
Dedini was caught outside the goal box and midfielder Niki Budalic
fired a shot that was knocked away at the last second by defender
Tim Sahaydak. The Lynx were unable to capitalize on the
rebound.
A very physical
game from the outset, the teams registered 50 fouls and eight yellow
cards combined.
The Riverhounds
started two rookies - midfielders Derek
Potteiger and Joey
Worthen - in place of several injured regulars. Defender Ricardo
Iribarren sat out the game due to a suspension.
The Lynx and
Hounds meet again in Pittsburgh on May 31.
The RIVERHOUNDS®
return to Bethel Park Stadium on May 8 in a special matinee game
designed especially for school students. All tickets are $5. For
