Colorado Springs, CO (May 21st, 2024) – The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC and the USL Championship officially announced today that Ronaldo Damus has been named to the Team of the Week for week 11 of the 2024 season, presented by Konami eFootball.
Last Friday, the Switchbacks secured a win against Rhode Island FC. With Damus’s incredible attacking skills, he scored two goals, created one chance, held a passing accuracy of 78.6%, and completed 10 of 14 passes.
The Switchbacks started the match down by one to Rhode Island, but quickly responded with #9 Ronaldo Damus scoring in the 27′. After Rhode Island headed the ball into the air, Damus swiftly took possession of the ball and brought it into the box, calmly striking the ball into the back of the net.
Later in the second half, Damus was shoved down in the attacking box by #3 Stephen Turnbull, resulting in a penalty kick. Damus took a deep breath, ran up to the ball, and lasered it down the middle, while the goalkeeper #1 Ruiz Ojeda dove left.
Mark your calendars for June 1st as the Switchbacks play at Weidner Field to celebrate Soccer for all Night as they take on the Oakland Roots! For tickets to that match, and all others, head HERE.
