PITTSBURGH (Tuesday, February 6, 2024) – Indy Eleven opened 2024 preseason action on Tuesday afternoon with a 0-0 draw on the road against 2023 USL Championship Eastern Conference regular-season champion Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.
The match proved to be a solid defensive battle with Indy coming away with its first shutout of preseason.
Both teams thought they had found themselves a match winner, but saw goals called back for as offside. Indy’s opportunity came early in the 19th minute from Augustine Williams, while Pittsburgh’s chance came with less than 10 minutes to play.
Indy is coming of a 13-11-10 season and a trip to the USL Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time since the 2019 season, posting a franchise-record eight road wins during the campaign. The Boys in Blue also had their first pair of all-league selections since the 2020 season.
Preseason action continues Saturday with a home match against Chicago Fire FC II. Kick is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Grand Park Events Center and is open to the public.
