Tulsa’s Alvaro Torrijos and Mariano Fazio were named as the American Athletic Conference Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, as announced today by the league office. The duo helped Tulsa record a 3-0 win over Memphis last week.
Torrijos assisted on the first two goals, coming in the 36th and 54th minutes, and then scored a goal in the 61st minute. This was Torrijos’ first goal of the season and third of his career.
Fazio scored a goal for Tulsa in the 54th minute and helped anchor a defense that allowed just three shots. Fazio had two shots, both of which were on goal, and recorded his first goal of the season and fourth of his career.
Alex Lopez and Sergio Baena were tabbed to the weekly Honor Roll. Lopez recorded two saves for the shutout, while Baena scored the game-winning goal over the Tigers.
