October 14, 2022 – United Soccer League Championship (USL) – FC Tulsa News Release
TULSA – For the final time in 2022, FC Tulsa takes the pitch on Saturday night vs. Memphis 901 FC. The season has been full of ups and downs, as is any season, and plenty of eye-popping storylines. But now is not the time to reminisce – that comes later. We still have 90 minutes of soccer to play and three more points to secure.
Fresh off a clean sheet on Wednesday night and riding a three-match unbeaten streak since the likes of Luca Sowinski and Angel Bernal began seeing action, another win heading into the offseason could set the tone for 2023.
The offense continues its tremendous run of form having now scored in 10 consecutive matches, its longest scoring streak dating back to the 2020 season. Marcus Epps is coming off a midweek brace, Darío Suárez has now contributed to 14 goals this season, and Ciaran Winters became the 16th FC Tulsa player to log an assist in the USL Championship this season on Wednesday. New Mexico United is the only other club to have 16 players register an assist in 2022.
The attacking momentum will need to bleed into Saturday as a potent Memphis squad averaging just under two goals per match takes I-40 West en route to the Oil Capital of the World. Memphis comes in as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference with Tampa Bay Rowdies right on its heels. To guarantee a home match in the second round of the playoffs, Memphis needs to stay ahead of Tampa with a win in Tulsa or a Tampa loss at New York Red Bulls II.
The two sides have matched up five times dating back to last season and Memphis has been the beneficiary of the results as FC Tulsa has managed just one win in five contests. However, we all know that could all change tomorrow night in front of a large crowd at ONEOK Field as the season draws to a close.
Jacob Tovar kicks the night off and concludes the FC Tulsa Concert Series lineup at 6 p.m. CT before gates open at 6:30 p.m. It will also be Fight Cancer Night, an evening dedicated to raising awareness and funds to fight against breast cancer. FC Tulsa players will be wearing limited-edition Fight Cancer jerseys during warmups that fans can purchase as part of the Fight Cancer Bundle, the proceeds of which will be donated to The Stonebrook Project, or on their own.
Kickoff from ONEOK is slated for 7:30 p.m. CT.
