Season summary

Unlike the 17 US-based PASL teams, Toros Mexico and the other two Mexico-based teams did not participate in the 2013–14 United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer.

History

The Toros played the 2009-10, 2010–11, and 2011–12 seasons at Furati Arena as "Revolución Tijuana".[2] In September 2012, Ramon Quezada and Eduardo Vele sold the team to head coach Joe Pollard but retained the rights to the old name and logo.[3]

The team had mixed results in the 2012–13 regular season, compiling a 7–9 record, but placed second in the PASL's Southwest Division.[4] The team advanced to the postseason but lost two straight games to the Las Vegas Legends in the Divisional Finals, ending their playoff run.
