Colorado Springs, CO (September 10th, 2024) – The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and the USL Championship officially announced today that Yosuke Hanya has been named Player of the Week and Justin Dhillon to Team of the Week for week 27 of the 2024 season, presented by Konami eFootball.
Yosuke Hanya was exceptional in Saturday’s game against Tampa Bay Rowdies. With his direct and quick play, Hanya was able to propel the Switchbacks to a fast start to the game. The young attacker completed the night with 100% passing accuracy in the final third, one goal and one assist.
“I’m extremely happy, and grateful for this performance as a team,” said Hanya. “Personally, it has been very long since I scored my last goal, so this is definitely an energy boost moment for me, and I’m really excited to score more goals as we head to the last couple games.”
New signing, Justin Dhillon was great for the Switchbacks on Saturday night. Within the 64 minutes played, Dhillon was able to continue his goal scoring reputation by adding one to the score sheet two minutes into the second half.
