SAN ANTONIO, TX - San Antonio FC (2-5-5) will host Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC (7-2-2) at Toyota Field on Saturday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. The match will be the second meeting between the two sides so far this season.

Coverage of the match will be available on Fox Sports Southwest, as well as SanAntonioFC.com and the USL Match Center.

San Antonio FC will head into the match after getting eliminated from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last Wednesday at the hands of the Houston Dynamo (MLS). The team also salvaged a point in USL action on the road against Portland Timbers 2 last Saturday with a late equalizer by defender Milton Palacios.

Colorado Springs will travel to Toyota Field for the first time after earning a draw away from home against LA Galaxy II. The club is currently in second place on the league table, and has not suffered a loss since May 4.

SAFC will look to continue to improve their form in the league after Palacios' 87th minute goal last Saturday ended a six-week goal drought for the club, earning the defender a spot on the USL Team of the Week.

San Antonio narrowly fell 0-1 at against Colorado Springs in the teams' first encounter at Switchbacks Stadium on April 23. The hosts currently sit in 14th place on the league table, and are looking for their first win since April 30.

San Antonio FC will then return to USL action on Thursday, June 23 as they host Orange County Blues FC at Toyota Field for the first time this season.
