COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Energy filled the stands at Weidner Field on Saturday for Armed Forces Night and KOAA Night wrapped into one!
The Switchbacks didn't disappoint in their matchup against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, winning the match 1-0.

Going into the second half, the Switchbacks kept control and didn't let the Riverhounds get a goal in.
The Switchbacks won't be back home for a while, traveling for the next three weeks to hopefully keep up the momentum from Saturday's game.
