Pittsburgh Riverhounds targeting MLS

USL Pro club Pittsburgh Riverhounds have a major goal in mind in the next few years.

The Pennsylvania outfit want to win the 2014 USL Pro championship before eventually making the quantum leap into Major League Soccer just as 2013 champions Orlando City will do.

They are the sentiments of midfielder Jason Kutney who double as the Riverhound's chief executive officer.

"We're here to win a championship in 2014," Kutney told the Tibune-Review. "We're not going to run from that.

"Our goal is MLS, whether that's soon or years from now. We look at what Orlando City did, and that was to first build a strong team that drew a lot of fan support, and now they're ready for that step."

And another goal for the ambitious Pittsburgh club: "Sell out every game," Kutney said, "then keep growing."
