SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - For the second time this season, Gabriel Bracken Serra has been named the West Coast Conference Offensive Player of the week the conference announced on Monday afternoon.
 
Helping the Dons to a historic win this week, Gabriel Bracken Serra delivered once again for the green and gold to lift San Francisco over No. 9 Stanford, 2-1, on the road this Thursday, Oct. 10. 
 
After trailing for most of the match, USF found the equalizer in the 85th minute before Bracken Serra provided the game-winner with 20 seconds left. Following a pass from Zane Alafranji, the midfielder blasted his team-leading sixth goal of the season past the opposing keeper to put the Dons in front, 2-1, in the closing seconds of the match. Using one final defensive stand to secure the upset, San Francisco went on to take down the Cardinal, 2-1, ending Stanford's 18-game unbeaten streak against nonconference opponents. Notably, his six goals are now good for fourth in the WCC.
 
For San Francisco, this award marks the second time Bracken Serra has been named the conference's Offensive Player of the Week.
