SAN MATEO, Calif. – The University of San Francisco men's soccer team had six players earn all-conference honors as announced by the West Coast Conference on Friday afternoon.

All of which led the Dons.  The 11 points scored was second most in the WCC.  In WCC play, his three goals scored was third most, while his four assists was tops in the conference.
 
USF's talented backrow, which helped to hold opponents to just nine goals on the year, saw defenders Charalaghi and Lo earn honorable mention accolades.

He also tallied four points on one goal and two assists.  His lone goal of the season was the game-winning goal which came in the 61^st minute of USF's 3-2 road win over Pacific early in the year.

Newcomers Ivo Neto and Dominic Valdivia made big contributions at the midfield to earn honorable mention honors. Neto, the native of Brazil, finished with one goal and one assist for three points. He fired 14 shots on the year, seven of which were on goal for a team-high .500 shots on goal percentage.
 
Valdivia played in 10 matches with six starts.  He finished the year with one goal – the game winning goal in the 88^th minute over Pacific on March 21^st. Valdivia took eight shots with three on goal for a .375 shots on goal percentage.
 
Gabriel Bracken Serra took home all-freshman honors after playing in nine matches. He finished the year with a goal which came in the 2-0 win over Santa Clara on March 7.  Bracken Serra took just three shots on the year, but he made it count with the goal against the Broncos.
