El Paso Locomotive FC News Release
EL PASO, Texas - El Paso Locomotive FC's Christian Sorto earned a selection to the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 24 after his two-goal performance in a 2-2 draw against Monterey Bay FC last Saturday.
In his first regular season start for Locomotive, Sorto quickly made a name for himself with a brilliant brace featuring two long-range efforts. He converted Los Locos' first free kick of the year in the 23rd minute which is a Goal of the Week nominee before switching to his left foot for a curler in the 59th minute off a feed from Memo Diaz.
"It feels good to get those first two at home," Sorto said Saturday night. "My confidence is through the roof right now which hopefully is good for the team. We need to push for the playoffs, so my goal is to help us do that."
