The Riverhounds are red hot.
So are the rest of the teams ahead of them in the standings.
Despite being unbeaten in its last seven matches (6-0-1), the Hounds remain in fourth place in the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference standings, behind Louisville City FC, Tampa Bay Rowdies and this week’s opponent, Memphis 901 FC.
