KALAMAZOO, Mich.- After assisting one game-winner and scoring another, Western Michigan senior forward Jay McIntosh has been named the #NCAASoccer Men's Player of the Week. It is the second national honor for McIntosh this week, as he was also named to the TopDrawerSoccer National Team of the Week for the second consecutive week.

Western Michigan (No. 1 in the Great Lakes Region) has jumped to No. 9 in the United Soccer Coaches poll this week after debuting at No. 24 on Sept. 12 and rising to No. 12 last week. The Broncos have posted two wins over top-25 ranked opponents and are undefeated through their first 10 games with a 9-0-1 record, for the best start in school history. On Sept. 22 the NCAA named Western Michigan its National Team of the Week.

WMU posted a 1-0 win over No. 22 Michigan last Wednesday at home and defeated UMBC on the road on Saturday, 2-0. McIntosh assisted Kosti Moni's goal in the 51st minute against Michigan then came back to score the game-winning goal in the 22nd minute at UMBC with his third strike of the season. McIntosh has six assists on the year, ranking fourth most in Division I.

Western Michigan travels to Portland for its next game on Friday, Sept. 29, a 10 p.m. ET matchup. The Broncos return to the WMU Soccer Complex on Wednesday, Oct. 4, hosting No. 4 Michigan State at 4:30 p.m. Admission to all home WMU soccer games is free.
