CLEVELAND – Western Michigan men's soccer junior forward Mike Melaragni has been named Mid-American Conference Co-Player of the Week for his performance in WMU's 2-0 win at Butler last week.

Melaragni helped the Broncos get off to a 1-0 start by scoring both goals in their victory over the Bulldogs last Wednesday. His first goal gave Western Michigan a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute. His second came in the 36th minute and the Broncos shutdown Butler for the remainder of the game.

In just his first start of the season, the Rochester, Mich., native already matched his goal output from last season and needs just one more to match his career-high of three that he set during his freshman season.

Melaragni and the Broncos are back in action on Friday against DePaul at the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield, Ind.
