FC Tulsa News Release


TULSA, Okla. - FC Tulsa defender Lamar Batista has been named to the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 32 after a 2-0 victory over San Antonio FC that secured the top seed in the Western Conference. Batista capped the match with a key goal in the 75th minute, rising to meet Jamie Webber's assist and heading the ball into the bottom left corner.

Batista's 9 clearances, 78.3% passing accuracy, and timely tackles against San Antonio FC - along with his ability to read the game - not only thwarted scoring opportunities from the opponent, but also fueled Tulsa's transition from defense to attack. His selection to the Team of the Week underscores the Oklahoma native's role as the squad heads into the final two regular season games before the USL Championship playoffs.

Additionally, the Black and Gold's newly signed emergency goalkeeper, Tyler Deric, earned a spot on the Team of the Week bench. He kept a clean sheet and made six saves on the evening against San Antonio..
