Colorado Springs, CO (June 17th, 2025) – The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and the USL Championship officially announced today that Matt Mahoney and Christian Herrera have been named to the Team of the Week Bench for week 15 of the 2025 season, presented by Konami eFootball.
Mahoney was a key defender last Saturday when the Switchbacks battled Oakland Roots at Weidner Field. On the pitch, he held a passing accuracy of 89.4%, won three duels, and made six clearances.
Oakland Roots struggled to get past Switchbacks defenders, and throughout the whole 90 minutes they only had one shot on target which was saved by Christian Herrera.
In the 90+6′ Oaklands Roots player #22 EJ Johnson, shot from the right side of the pitch. Herrera jumped across the six-yard box with a finger touch save, deflecting the ball to the left side of the pitch. Marking his third clean sheet of the 2025 USL Championship regular season.
