Austin Aztex prepare for home opener
Nick Barbaro, 3:28pm, Sat. May. 19, 2012
Preparations are going on apace as the Austin Aztex approach their inaugural season home opener 7:30pm tonight at House Park.
The Aztex face their old rival from their previous incarnation in the PDL Mid South, the El Paso Patriots. The Aztex lost to the Patriots last weekend in El Paso, 1-0, in a hard-fought game that got chippy toward the end. They'll be looking for revenge in the rematch, against a team that could be fatigued; El Paso had a Cup match mid-week, and a loss just last night, 2-1 at the Laredo Heat.
