Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC Bully Arizona United In Home Opener

Marty Maybin gets a goal and an assist in a dominating performance by Colorado Springs over Arizona. The 2-0 victory leaves the Switchbacks undefeated in 2016.

Scheduling in the USL must be rough. You have to not only try to make road trips financially viable for many teams, but often must juggle availability in multipurpose stadiums. Some teams benefit from it, and some teams, such as Arizona United get the short end of the stick. Five game road trips can be a tiring prospect for any team. Five games to start the season can be crippling.

Arizona saw their fourth game of the road trip in the rarified air of Colorado Springs, against the Switchbacks FC.
