Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC News Release
Colorado Springs, CO – The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and the USL Championship officially announced today that Delentz Pierre has been named to the Team of the Week for week 13 of the 2024 season, presented by Konami eFootball.
The Switchbacks started with a bang on Saturday night, with #4 Delentz Pierre making an immediate impact when coming onto the pitch.
