Locos Surge: 4 Wins & Counting!

El Paso Locomotive FC is currently enjoying a dominant four-game winning streak, positioning them strongly in the USL Championship's Western Conference standings. Their latest victory came from a 1-0 away win against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, thanks to a late own-goal. This win marked their fifth victory and fifth clean sheet in their last six games.

Forward Rubio Rubin, who is actively competing for the league's Golden Boot with 10 goals, emphasized the significant impact of recent road successes on team morale and confidence. He stated that winning consecutive away matches is "huge for our momentum." The team is now looking ahead to two critical home games at Southwest University Park.

On Wednesday, August 27, 2026, El Paso Locomotive FC will face the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, followed by a Saturday night clash against Loudoun United FC. Rubin stressed the importance of defending their home turf, stating, "We're at home, we're expected to win." He reiterated the team's focus on grinding out results, regardless of the scoreline, to secure valuable points for their playoff aspirations.

While Rubin acknowledged his personal goal of competing for the top scorer title, he underscored that team success, particularly winning the USL Championship, remains his primary objective. He expressed that team victories create the best "vibe in the locker room." The Locos' match against the Riverhounds is scheduled for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
