The Nationals (7-5) meet the Denver Outlaws (7-5) on Saturday, August 27th in a semifinal showdown at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadiumin Annapolis, Maryland. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN 2 and ESPN3.com.

MacIntosh was acquired in the June MLL Player Pool.

He led the Tigers in 2011 this season with 75 points on 43 goals and 32 assists. He was second on the team with 93 ground balls and won 103-of-200 face-offs this season. The 75 points in 2011 is tenth all-time at RIT for points in a season. He finished his career at RIT 25th on the all-time scoring list with 128 points on 78 goals and 49 assists.

“I watched some Nationals games the past couple of years,” said MacIntosh when he was acquired by Hamilton. “I just hope I can bring something to the lineup.”

Prior to coming to Rochester, he played two seasons at Gordon College and scored 47 goals and added 25 assists for 72 points in 24 games. He earned All-Commonwealth Coast Conference Honorable Mention honors in 2009. MacIntosh was second on the team in scoring in 2008 and 2009. He was an instant contributor once he got to RIT.

In the summer, he played box lacrosse for the Ajax-Pickering Rock of Major Series Lacrosse. The first-round MSL draft selection has 32 goals and 28 assists in 17 games with the Rock in 2011. He played his Junior “A” ball with the Burlington Chiefs and was a past Team MVP.

RIT finished the 2001 season with a program-record 19 wins. The Tigers set a record for longest winning streak, winning 19 straight games, and started the season 19-0. RIT finished 19-1, winning the Empire 8 regular season and tournament championships, and made into the NCAA Division III Tournament, beating Denison (2nd Round) and Amherst (Quarerfinals), before falling to Tufts University in national semifinals.
