The Pittsburgh Riverhounds and former Quaker Valley head coach Gene Klein were unable to follow up their first win of the United Soccer Leagues Second Division season last Saturday, falling 3-1 on the road against the Richmond Strikers.

South African-born striker Thabiso Khumalo scored early in the second half for Pittsburgh, tying the score after a first-half goal by Richmond's Sascha Gorres gave the home team the lead.

The game remained deadlocked until the 78th minute, when Mike Burke buried a penalty kick to restore Richmond's one-goal lead.

It went from bad to worse for the Riverhounds four minutes later, when rookie striker Travis MacKenzie, a Chartiers Valley High School and Duquesne University product, was sent off for violent conduct.

Ten-man Pittsburgh couldn't grab a second goal after the red card, and Richmond added a late goal by Stanley Nyazamba to ensure the victory.

Once again, goalscoring was a problem for the Riverhounds, who outshot the home team, 10-9, yet still finished with only one goal.

The loss drops Klein's team to 1-9-4 in USL-2, while Richmond improved to 9-4-2.

The Riverhounds return home this weekend to face the Bermuda Hogges (3-8-2), beginning a four-game homestand. Five of the team's final six games are at home.

The game is scheduled for Saturday at 7:05 p.m., at Chartiers Valley High School.
