OKC ENERGY FC (1), COLORADO SPRINGS SWITCHBACKS FC (2) OKLAHOMA CITY – The Switchbacks got their season off to a winning start with a victory on the road against Energy FC at Taft Stadium. The Switchbacks opened the game well and took the lead in the 16th minute when Aidan Daniels’ low cross from the right side was bundled home at the back post by Christian Volesky. OKC’s Frank Lopez almost answered for the hosts five minutes later only to be denied as Colorado Springs goalkeeper Sean Melvin came off his line quickly to snuff out the chance. Lopez also had a chance nine minutes before halftime as he fired just wide of the left post from 25 yards, but in the 58th minute Energy FC hit back as Atiba Harris headed home a free kick by Tucker Stephenson from 40 yards out on the left into the bottom-right corner of the net. Lopez then had a chance to put OKC ahead on the hour-mark, only to be denied again by Melvin. Volesky also had a chance at his second goal of the night with 20 minutes to go as he volleyed over the crossbar from 15 yards, but with 12 minutes to go the decisive moment arrived as a powerful low shot by Colorado Springs’ Uvaldo Luna was turned into his own goal by Stephenson for what proved the winner for the visitors.
