COLORADO SPRINGS — In the Switchbacks' first game of the season, they traveled to Texas to play El Paso, but finished the game with a 2-2 draw.
A rematch between the Switchbacks and El Paso Locomotive left the two teams with the same outcome as before...a draw.
With a strong start to the game, Switchbacks player Justin Dhillon scored the team's only point at the 11th minute.
El Paso didn't waste any time, though, with El Paso player Robert Coronado scoring less than two minutes later.
Neither team scored additional points during the game, but a series of yellow cards for the Switchbacks left them down a few players.
Regardless, El Paso was unable to score again.
The game finished 1-1.
