The Roughnecks return to the pitch Thursday night in Colorado Springs in a matchup with the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. It is the first and only meeting of the season between the two Western Conference sides. Kickoff is slated for 8:00pm CDT at Switchbacks Stadium in Colorado.
THE TWO TEAMS
TRFC will enter the match with 18 points and a 5-13-3 record through its 21 matches this season. Colorado Springs comes into the match with 34 points and a 9-6-7 mark in 22 outings this season.
The Switchbacks are one of the toughest teams in the USL to play at home, losing only one time at home this year while compiling a 6-1-3 mark in Colorado Springs.

The game opens an important stretch of three straight home matches for the Switchbacks who are winless in their last five games.
Tulsa suffered a loss in its last match, 2-1 at home to Orange County. The Roughnecks were scheduled to host Swope Park last Saturday, but that match was postponed by wet conditions.
