El Paso Locomotive FC Fall to Orange County SC
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- El Paso Locomotive FC suffered their first home league defeat in 2025 in a 3-0 loss against Orange County SC in a USL Championship clash at Southwestern University Park.
El Paso doubled Orange County up in shots and held 58 percent of possession in the first half, but three goals in the final ten minutes from the visitors rendered those stats useless. The second half saw Locomotive unload 15 shots, but only three were on target as the score remained unchanged.
