Locomotive look to build momentum at Real Monarchs

The El Paso Locomotive's search for goals has taken two different directions as they prepare for Friday's game at Real Monarchs.

They went out and got a goal scorer from their past when they brought Sebastian Velasquez back in the fold after a stint in Israel.

Then they turned to the most likely place in the existing roster, receiving two goals from Dylan Mares in a 2-1 win Saturday against New Mexico United, which earned Mares notice on the USL team of the week.

In the aftermath of seeing its 18-game unbeaten streak snapped last Wednesday at Rio Grande Valley, El Paso feels it is getting in a better place as the season reaches its middle third.
