Colorado Springs Switchbacks win United Soccer League season-opener by forfeit

The Colorado Springs Switchbacks are now 1-0-1 after the United Soccer League ruled Monday that the Tulsa Roughnecks had used an ineligible player in a 4-1 season-opening victory March 25.

The identity of the player was not released by the USL.

The ruling awarded the Switchbacks a 3-0 forfeit victory which will be reflected in league statistics later this week.
