EL PASO, Texas (August 26, 2025) – El Paso Locomotive FC’s Gabi Torres earned a selection to the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 25 after his performance in a 1-0 victory against Sacramento Republic FC last Saturday. This is Torres’ seventh Team of the Week honor in 2025, the most for the club this season.
Torres was a maestro in the midfield for Los Locos creating numerous scoring opportunities and rocketing home a loose ball in the 41st minute for the match-winning goal. He was also active defensively winning seven duels and five fouls for Locomotive.
“I believe we are really strong when we play together,” Torres said. “We need everybody down the stretch. When we show fight on the field, it’s really difficult to play against us. Now, with ten games left in the regular season, we need to stay humble and show more consistency to get the results we need in a tough Western Conference.”
