FC Tulsa News Release
TAMPA, Fla. - For the third time through four weeks of the USL Championship regular season, multiple FC Tulsa teammates have earned their place on the league's Team of the Week. Left-back Brett Levis cracks the list for the first time in his career while forward Marcus Epps was named to the Team of the Week bench.
Levis was hampered by an injury sustained in preseason play through the first two weeks of the season, but once healthy, the Canadian needed only two starts in a four-day span to secure his first Team of the Week honor. Levis was brilliant over his two starts, winning 9 of his 12 tackles (75%), 26 of his 34 duels (76%), and 7 of his 9 aerial duels (78%). One of his tackles was a successful sliding attempt where the ball ended up at the feet of Moses Dyer who sprung Rodrigo da Costa for the opening goal of the match.
Levis was also sensational with the ball at his feet, completing 102 out of his 122 pass attempts (84%).
It was more of the same for Marcus Epps who is quickly turning into a Tulsa superstar. The forward played all 180 minutes of FC Tulsa's two matches and notched his first assist of the season on Moses Dyer's 90+1' minute equalizer vs. El Paso Locomotive FC, the 17th of his USL Championship career. In addition to his crucial service, Epps completed 57 of his 77 passes (74%), won 13 of his 21 duels (62%), and won 6 of his 8 aerial duels (75%).
The honors marked the first of the season for Levis (Week 4) and the second for Epps (Week 3, Week 4 bench).
