He stressed his focus remains on the upcoming games as the team works to improve.
The Riverhounds defeated Rhode Island FC on Saturday to win the Eastern Conference title when Robbie Mertz scored in the 62nd minute (after a pass from Captain Danny Griffin) at Highmark Stadium with a record crowd of 6,735.

On November 16, the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Nashville Predators 1-0 in an NHL Global Series game held in Stockholm, Sweden (Danton Heinen scored the only goal) as the team held the opposition scoreless through the second and third periods.
The win marked an improved and steady defensive effort after a tough performance on Friday.
