Last week, Tucson snapped its two-match losing streak by defeating Lansing Ignite FC 2-0, earning the first clean sheet victory of the season. LAFC loanee goalkeeper Phillip Ejimadu earned USL League One Team of the Week honors after notching five saves and recording the clean sheet.

Scary Terry
Nabbing his first start of 2019 against Lansing, defender José Terrón was a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. The 5-foot-9 Spaniard registered five clearances, one assist, won 8 of 11 duels and created two chances en route to receiving USL League One Team of the Week honors for Week 6.
The Kid is special
Midfielder Devin Vega has recorded two goals in just two appearances with the club. On loan from Phoenix Rising FC, Vega scored both of his USL League One goals off of free kicks, making him the only player in the league to accomplish this feat twice.
More to come
Forward Devyn Jambga recorded both his first start and the first goal of his professional career in last week's 2-0 victory against Lansing.
In a league of their own
Midfielder Andrew Wheeler-Omiunu and goalkeeper Phillip Ejimadu now stand alone as the only two FCT players to have played in every possible minute this season (450 minutes).
