Finally, things are starting to move in Texoma FC’s favor.

After going without a win in its first two-and-a-half months as a club, the side has picked up three wins on the bounce in League One to suddenly be above the playoff line one-third of the way through the regular season.

So, what’s going right for Los Pájaros to cause this turnaround?

Well, having Javier Garcia between the sticks is certainly helping. The League One Player of the Month nominee has posted a save percentage of 86.7 percent since taking over from Mason McCready between the sticks, notching a -1.12 Goals Prevented mark and two shutouts while only allowing a pair of goals.

That’s been key, because Texoma’s continued to give up more chances than it has created over the past three game run. Including Saturday’s 2-1 win against the Richmond Kickers, the side has allowed 4.16 Expected Goals Against in its three wins, compared to 2.9 Expected Goals on the attacking side of the ledger.

The five tallies the side has put up have come on a hot run of finishing, with Texoma converting 27.8 percent of its shots and posting a 61.1 percent shot accuracy rate, both 10 percent above the club’s overall average this season.

There’s a lot to like about Texoma’s rise in the standings. It bears watching to see if they can sustain it as others continue to falter around them.

Here’s where things stand this week.
