TULSA, Okla. (July 21, 2026) — FC Tulsa defender Lamar Batista and midfielder Jamie Webber earned selections to the USL Championship Team of the Week after connecting for the match-winning goal against El Paso Locomotive FC last Saturday.
Batista’s finish in first half stoppage time was his second goal of the regular season and third across all competitions with all of them coming from set piece opportunities. Defensively, he won eight of his 12 duels while recording 49 touches on the evening, the second most on the team.
Webber was the one to eclipse that mark with 57 touches against El Paso including his cross off a free kick that found Batista at the back post. The South African midfielder completed 26 of 33 passes including 12 of 17 in the final third while creating several attacking chances for the Scissortails in their 1-0 victory at ONEOK Field.
“It feels amazing [to assist on a set piece] because we work very hard on our set pieces,” Webber said. “Not only offensively but defensively as well, we pride ourselves on scoring and not conceding from set pieces. Tonight, we got a clean sheet and scored from a set piece which is very important for us.”
