Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC News Release
Colorado Springs, CO - The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC officially announced today that forward Khori Bennett has been named to the USL Championship's Team of the Week presented by SiteOne for week 5 of the 2026 season.
After a standout performance in Week 5 against Lexington SC, Bennett recorded one goal on three shots, with two attempts coming from inside the box. The forward also posted an 83.5% passing accuracy and competed strongly throughout the match, winning 10 duels. Defensively, he contributed by winning his lone tackle attempt.
Bennett's impact was felt most in the decisive moment of the match, calmly converting the penalty kick in the 79 ¬Â² after Switchbacks' #7 Jonas Fjeldberg was brought down in the penalty area by Lexington's #4 Arturo Ordóñez. Stepping up with confidence, Bennett delivered a composed, right-footed finish low to the left, securing a crucial point for Colorado Springs.
