Taylor Calheira Named to USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 29

FC Tulsa News Release


TULSA, Okla. - FC Tulsa forward Taylor Calheira has earned a spot on the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 29 following his standout performance in the Scissortails' 1-1 road draw against Oakland Roots SC last Saturday.

Since joining FC Tulsa, Calheira has steadily developed into one of the league's most dangerous attacking threats. Against Oakland, the striker showcased his instinctive finishing ability and relentless work rate, capping off a Man of the Match performance with his 12th goal of the season - the equalizer that officially secured Tulsa's postseason berth. His composure in front of goal and constant pressure on the opposing back line, which led to four chances created and eight duels won, were instrumental in the result.

Calheira's attacking flair and eye for goal have quickly made him a fan favorite at ONEOK Field, and his latest honor marks another milestone in what has been a breakout campaign for the young forward.
