Etienne Barbara continued his assault on the RailHawks record book with two goals and an assist in Saturday night’s 3-1 win at Tampa Bay.

The two goals gave Barbara 14 for his RailHawks career, making him the club’s new all-time leader.

Barbara set the record in just 33 appearances for the RailHawks, half as many as Daniel Paladini had during his 13-goal record-tying run in 2009-10 and 21 fewer matches than Connally Edozien needed to set the record in 2007-08.

Barbara has six goals through the RailHawks’ first five games of 2011 and he has closed in on several other RailHawks’ single-season and career records. He is just two goals shy of the single-season goal scoring mark, which he set in 2010. He is just five points shy of the single-season mark, which he also set in 2010. And he is just three points behind Paladini’s career points record of 35.

Barbara’s two-goal performance Saturday was also the second time he has scored twice in a one game in a RailHawks’ kit, and it was the 14th two-goal game in club history.

Finally, he extended his goal-scoring streak to five consecutive matches, also a club record.

Top of the U.S. chart

Not only is Barbara leading the RailHawks and the NASL in scoring, he is tied as the most prolific scorer in American professional soccer in 2011. Barbara’s six goals are tied with DC United’s Charlie Davies for most in the U.S.

More scoring accounts opened

Forward Brian Farber scored his first goal of the season in the 52nd minute Saturday, making him the 46th player in club history to score a goal for the franchise. It was his first goal since Oct. 4, 2009, when he scored twice in the return leg of the USL-1 semifinals for Portland. It was his first regular-season goal since June 19, 2009.

Midfielder Stephen Glass earned his first assist of the season Saturday when he set up Barbara’s 20th-minute goal, making him the 43rd player to register an assist for the club.

Midfielder Chris Nurse became the 44th player to do the same thing when he earned his first assist of the season on Saturday when he set up Barbara’s 76th-minute goal.

Another record matched

Goalkeeper Brad Knighton needed only five games in order to put his name into the club’s record books.

Knighton had 11 saves on Saturday night against Tampa, tying the club record for saves in a game.

Knighton improved to 3-1-1 on the year with Saturday’s win, with 24 saves and a 1.00 goals against average.
