Goalkeeper Ben Lundgaard made his professional debut on Saturday, March 23, starting for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in a 2-2 road draw against the Swope Park Rangers.
Lundgaard, who was sent on loan to the Riverhounds on March 6 of this year, played all 90 minutes of the match, making three saves to help Pittsburgh earn a point on the road.
The goalkeeper was called into action just eight minutes into the match, as he denied Wilson Harris from point-blank range to keep the match scoreless.
Lundgaard was at it again in the 30th minute, this time making a save on Gianluca Busio’s shot from the edge of the box to help the Riverhounds go into halftime with the score tied at 0-0.
In all, it was a solid first outing for Lundgaard, who was selected by the Black & Gold in the First Round in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft on January 19, 2018.
