YUMA, Ariz. – For the first time in program history, the Arizona Western Matadors Men's Soccer team was ranked No. 1 in the NJCAA DI Men's Soccer poll after picking up a pair of wins last week to remain unbeaten.

The Matadors started the week with a 1-0 win on the road over Yavapai thanks to a Terry Makedika goal in the second half, proving to be the game-winner. Makedika scored two more goals on Saturday as the Matadors won their second straight game, beating Scottsdale 3-0.
