EL PASO, Texas (May 20, 2025) – El Paso Locomotive FC saw three players get selected to the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 11 after dismantling Indy Eleven 3-1 on Friday night at Southwest University Park. Eric Calvillo and Andy Cabrera each earned starting positions while Arturo Ortiz was named to the bench.
ERIC CALVILLO
Calvillo was everywhere for Locomotive on Friday night with his effort paying off resulting in his first goal of the season midway through the first half. He completed 46 of 49 passes including seven in the final third while also winning seven of eight duels and all four tackles he made.
ANDY CABRERA
After training last Tuesday, head coach Wilmer Cabrera joked that while his son was scoring with ease, he wanted to see him chip in some assists as well. The message seemed to be received as the younger Cabrera chipped in two assists on Friday night for his first in a Locomotive kit. One could argue he deserves a third as his run to the outside post on an early fast break opened up space for Amando Moreno to start the scoring for Los Locos.
ARTURO ORTIZ
Ortiz contributed heavily to the Locomotive attack in the first half, assisting Moreno’s goal before providing a beautiful full-length pass down the right sideline to Cabrera who set up Calvillo for the second of the half. In defense, he also chipped in seven clearances while winning five of seven tackles and completing 56 of 64 passes.
