Tulsa’s Meinhard Named The American Rookie of the Week

Tulsa's Alex Meinhard picked up his second American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week accolade, as announced today by the league office.

Meinhard, a redshirt freshman from Tartu, Estonia, scored the game-winning goal in both contests against Memphis this past week, helping Tulsa add two wins to their record.

In the first game of the week in Tulsa, Meinhard knocked through a penalty kick into the lower right corner in the 55th minute of the game for the 1-0 Tulsa lead. TU went on to win the game, 2-0. In the second game of the week in Memphis, Meinhard recorded the golden goal in the 101st minute as he scored on a counterattack from 12 yards out to give TU a 1-0 double-overtime win.
