There were dozens of noteworthy performances from over the course of the past week that made whittling down the Team of the Week an incredibly difficult task. As evidenced by the length of the others considered list, there were plenty of options for spots on the Team of the Week as well as Player of the Week.

The individual honor went to Navy junior defender Joseph Greenspan, who is making his second appearance of the season on the Team of the Week. The Midshipman scored the game-winner in overtime against Army on Friday. The 1-0 win came in front of 7,416 fans at PPL Park – the home of the Philadelphia Union.

It was the eighth shutout of the season for Navy, which finished Patriot League regular season play with a 9-0-0 record - a remarkable game and season for Greenspan and Navy.

Check out who else joined Greenspan on the Team of the Week below.

GK Kendall McIntosh, Santa Clara – The Broncos man in goal made three saves on Friday in a 1-0 win over Saint Mary’s. He followed that up with a five-save performance against San Francisco in a 2-1 win, which sets up a huge game against LMU on Friday.

D Daniel Welsh, UC Santa Barbara – Under the bright lights and TV cameras, Welsh and the Gauchos had their best game of the season on Saturday in a 2-0 win over Cal Poly. The senior center back shut down Mackenzie Pridham, one of the top forwards in the country, for 90 minutes and helped the Gauchos cruise to their first undefeated conference campaign since 2003.

D Michael Harris, Washington – The senior defender had both assists in Washington’s thrilling 2-1 win over California. Harris played all 90 minutes in the 2-0 win over Stanford. The Washington defense held Stanford to only one shot on goal.
