The Tulsa Roughnecks FC picked up its second straight home victory last Saturday with a hard-fought 2-1 win over in-form San Antonio FC, and today, defender Claudio Munoz was recognized for his role in the result. Munoz was named to the USL Team of the Week that was announced by the league office.
It is the first time that the former Chilean National Team defender has received a spot on the Team of the Week.
