PITTSBURGH (April 11, 2017) – Pittsburgh Riverhounds forward Corey Hertzog has been named to the USL Team of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal in a 2-1 road victory over the previously unbeaten Charleston Battery this past weekend.

Securing the first win of the season for the Hounds, Hertzog is tied for the USL lead in goals at three and leads the league in shots at 13. He pushed his career goal total with Pittsburgh to 16 after Saturday, securing sole possession of eighth all-time in club history in the process.

Already off to a hot start in 2017, Hertzog looks primed to build upon a 13-goal campaign with the Hounds in 2016. As an added note, the Pittsburgh forward didn’t record his third goal of 2016 until the 11th game of the season – reaching that total in eight less matches this year.

The Reading, Pennsylvania native has now been named to Team of the Week three times with Pittsburgh, including earning Player of the Week honors at the start of this season.

Amidst a grueling three games in seven days stretch, Hertzog and the Hounds (1-1-1) will face their second-straight unbeaten opponent in Saint Louis FC (2-0-1) at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Highmark Stadium. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at Riverhounds.com.
