WINDSOR, Colo. — After a 2-1 win over Union Omaha on Saturday, a trio of Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC players have been named in the USL League One Team of the Week for Week 10 of the 2024 season.
David Garcia was named in the Team of the Week for the first time as a Hailstorm player. Garcia provided the assist for Bruno Rendon’s winner in the 62nd minute and also created a pair of chances in the match. Defensively, he added three clearances and won four duels.
“It’s always good to be recognized like that,” Garcia said. “But it’s a team effort so it doesn’t really matter who gets in there as long as we get the three points.”
Rendon also made the Team of the Week after scoring his fourth goal in the last five matches in all competitions. He also created a pair of chances and won eight duels to go with a tackle and a clearance.
Lucky Opara is in the Team of the Week for the third time in 2024. Opara provided the assist for Billy King’s equalizer in the 54th minute and had five interceptions in the win.
Hailstorm will be back in action Saturday at 4Rivers Equipment Stadium when they take on Central Valley Fuego FC in USL Jägermeister Cup action. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
