KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The second installment of the 2011 NAIA National Men’s Soccer Players of the Week were announced on Tuesday by the national office: Trent Remmich of MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) was named NAIA Offensive Player of the Week and Sam Winstanley of Illinois Tech was named NAIA Defensive Player of the Week. They were selected based on their performances from Sept. 5 - 11 and were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.

Remmich, a 5-11 junior forward from Wichita, Kan., scored six goals to help MidAmerica Nazarene to a 3-0 week. After going scoreless in the 1-0 victory against Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) on Sept. 5, he notched the game-winner in the 1-0 triumph over Friends (Kan.) on Sept. 9.

Overall, he ranks fifth in the country with nine goals and sixth in total points (18).

Winstanley, a 5-10 senior goalkeeper from Stone, England, was impressive for Illinois Tech at the Waterford Lodge Tournament hosted by Bethel (Ind.) held from Sept. 9 – 10. He was credited with nine saves in 180 minutes of action and allowed just one goal in two matches. In the 4-0 shutout of Indiana Wesleyan, he posted six saves to earn his second blanking of the season. In the 2-1 upset over No. 19 Bethel, Winstanley stopped three shots on goal.
