The Riverhounds are asking their fans to vote on the name of their women’s club. The finalists are: Pittsburgh Confluence, Pittsburgh Renegades, Pittsburgh Riveters and Pittsburgh Strikers.

Fans can now vote for their favorites until July 19th.

Earlier this year, the Riverhounds announced that a professional women’s soccer team would come to Pittsburgh in 2025.
