TAMPA, Fla. - USL League One announced on Monday the Team of the Week Presented by Cleer Audio for Week 20 of the 2021 regular season, with FC Tucson forward Giovanni Calixtro named Player of the Week after scoring a hat trick against Fort Lauderdale CF, leading his side to a 4-0 win at DRV PNK Stadium on Sunday night. Calixtro opened the scoring on six minutes, polishing off a brilliant team move with a clever finish to the far post.
