Colorado Springs, CO - The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC officially announced today that Khori Bennett has been named to the USL Championship's Team of the Week, and Alan McCann as Coach of the Week, presented by SiteOne, for week 21 of the 2026 season.

Bennett delivered a standout performance on Wednesday in the Switchbacks'

The first goal of the night arrived in the 79' when #6 Sam Williams lofted a ball from way outside the box that found #90 Khori Bennett, who powered a header past Miami goalkeeper #1 Eloy Room from six yards out.

Then in the 90', #17 Sadam Masereka intercepted a pass before splitting two Miami defenders to find Bennett, who scored the second goal of the night and marked his eleventh goal this season to give the Switchbacks a 2-0 victory.

Under McCann's leadership, the Switchbacks earned six points and a clean sheet throughout week 21, bumping the team up in the standings to third place. Between both matches against Miami and Charleston, overall the squad attempted 31 shots, made 123 final third entries, and held an average passing accuracy of 85%. Defensively, the team won 16 out of 21 tackles, made 15 interceptions and only conceded one goal.
