The two teams have gone in different directions since their meeting earlier this month.
The Background:
The Switchbacks return home Friday night to Fortress Sand Creek after a solid road win against Western Conference foes Arizona United. There they will face the 3-4-2 Orange County Blues.
These two teams met at the beginning of May in Irvine California under very different circumstances. The Switchbacks where coming off a defeat to the LA Galaxy 2, a defeat almost pulled from the brink with a late game surge that fell short, while the Blues where sitting comfortably, coming off 4 games unbeaten, and 3 straight shutouts.
