Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC’s Hadji Barry voted Player of the Week after four-goal week

TAMPA, Fla. – The USL Championship announced the Team of the Week Presented by Cleer Audio for Week 10 of the 2021 regular season on Tuesday, with Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC’s Hadji Barry being voted Player of the Week after recording four goals across a pair of victories during the week’s action.

Barry became the first player to reach double-digit goals this season during Week 10, opening with a two-goal performance on Tuesday night as the Switchbacks claimed a 3-2 victory against Austin Bold FC. The Guinean forward then added another pair of goals in Colorado Springs’ 3-1 victory against New Mexico United on Friday night at Weidner Field, a result that moved the side into third place in the Championship’s Mountain Division and gave Barry goals in seven consecutive contests, one shy of his own league record for consecutive games with a goal set in 2018 when he played for Sporting Kansas City II.

Barry earned 67 percent of the ballot to claim the honor. FC Tulsa’s Rodrigo da Costa finished second on 17 percent after scoring both goals in his side’s 2-1 victory on the road against Rio Grande Valley FC on Friday night.
