Four-time winner Etienne Barbara of the league-leading Carolina RailHawks and two-time winner Jeff Attinella of FC Tampa Bay were named Monday the North American Soccer League's Offensive and Defensive Players of the week, respectively.
Barbara, who leads the league with 20 goals to go with eight assists, scored a hat trick -- the first one in the NASL this season -- in a 4-2 victory over the last-place Atlanta Silverbacks.
It was his fourth multi-goal game with the RailHawks this season.
Attinella, who last won the weekly defensive honor May 24 after earning his first career shutout three days earlier in a 3-0 win over the Montreal Impact, had four saves in his team's 2-0 shutout of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
It was the team's seventh shutout this season and a team-high fourth for Attinella, who is fifth in the league in that category.
