PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Riverhounds are heading to the playoffs.
The team defeated the El Paso Locomotive FC 2-0 at Highmark Stadium Saturday in the regular-season finale to clinch one of the final two playoff spots left.
The Hounds have now reached the postseason in seven consecutive seasons, the second-longest active streak in the USL Championship and the longest active streak among Pittsburgh’s four professional sports teams. They’re only behind Louisville, who has a 10-year-long playoff streak.
The Riverhounds are the No. 7 seed and face longtime rival No. 2 Charleston in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. That game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2 at 6:30 p.m. in Charleston.
