Los Dos have built momentum securing two back-to-back victories at home. The most recent came last Saturday when Galaxy II earned a 7-2 win over Las Vegas Lights FC. Ethan Zubak recorded four goals in the match, securing a career single-game high and a new LA Galaxy II single-game record. Three of Zubak's goals were scored in eight minutes, earning him the fastest hat trick in USL history. Match captain Julian Büscher also recorded a goal in the match, and Ariel Lassiter contributed two goals to the seven-goal scoreline.
Galaxy II have scored 20 goals in their last five games, making them one of the hottest teams in USL offensively. With such a high volume of goals, Los Dos are inching closer to securing their first win streak of the season.
LA Galaxy II went 0-1-1 against Tulsa in 2017, earning a 2-2 draw against the Roughnecks in their last meeting at StubHub Center. In that match, Los Dos dominated the first half, with a goal by Adrian Vera in the 20th minute, followed by a goal from Justin Dhillon in the 24th minute. But TRFC stepped up their offensive attack in the second half, scoring two goals to secure a draw against Los Dos.
Tulsa Roughnecks are 0-1-4 away from home and have recorded four points in May, with four draws and two losses. Tulsa are the only team without a win in the USL's Western Conference, but have earned a result in each of their last four road contests.
