FC Tulsa News Release
TULSA, Okla. - FC Tulsa goalkeeper Alex Tambakis earned a selection to the USL Championship Team of the Week after his standout performance against Hartford Athletic last Friday.
Despite Hartford outshooting Tulsa 18-6 on the night, Tambakis came up big for the hosts with five saves as the Scissortails extended their win streak to four matches across all competitions. This was the Greek keeper's second clean sheet in league play this season and 60th overall in the USL Championship, making him only the second player in league history to reach that mark as he sits just one shy of Sacramento Republic FC's Danny Vitiello.
