Locomotive and New Mexico United survive impending severe weather, battle to a draw

On a severely overcast Wednesday night, the El Paso Locomotive struggled to get clean shots on goal for most of the match coming up scoreless in the second half playing New Mexico United to a draw 2-2.

“We are unbeaten in three, we had the chances to win this game,” said Head Coach Mark Lowry. “We are the team most disappointed with a tie.”

“Fitness wise, both teams, are still at a preseason level,” Lowry said. We are pushing guys through 90 minutes that are not ready for that amount of play.”

At the 11-minute mark, New Mexico midfielder Christopher Wehen scored his second goal in as many games with a kick to the right-hand corner of the Locomotive net.
