The Pittsburgh Riverhounds spotted the Richmond Kickers a goal in the 36th minute of their road match in Richmond, but tied the game four minutes later. After a scoreless second half, the sides settled for a 1-1 tie; each picking up a point in the United Soccer Leagues Second Division standings.

Joey Worthen, who spent a season with the Riverhounds when they were in the former A-League (now USL-1), got the Kickers on the scoreboard first. Matthew Delicate was credited with the assist on a cross to Worthen. But newly acquired Riverhounds midfielder Randolph Jerome, who was with Cleveland last season, scored unassisted on a rebound from point blank range in the 40th minute to make it a 1-1 match.

Richmond outshot the Hounds 12-5, including an 8-0 difference in the final 45 minutes. However, Pittsburgh was playing a man down starting right after the half, when defender Chris Riley was given a red card and ejected. The game was played in steamy hot 96 degree conditions before 2,887 fans at the University of Richmond Stadium.

Pittsburgh is now 0-0-2 with 2-points in USL-2. The Riverhounds open their home schedule next Saturday night, May 2nd, when they host the Real Maryland Monarchs at Chartiers Valley Stadium at 7:05 p.m.
