SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The West Coast Conference officially announced on Monday afternoon that Kate Zimmerman, a freshman midfielder for San Francisco, has been named Player of the Week for the week of Sept. 16.
 
Shining in her first start as a Don, Kate Zimmerman powered San Francisco to a 2-1 comeback victory over San José State on Thursday, Sept. 19 as the freshman scored her first two collegiate goals in the win. 
 
After USF trailed 1-0 at halftime, the freshman came out firing in the second half as she danced through the Spartan defense before rocketing her first goal past the opposing keeper at 53:17. Less than three minutes later, the midfielder put herself in perfect position inside the box as Kaitlyn Sasadeusz passed it to Lindsey Chau near the goal, who then found Zimmerman for her second goal of the evening at 55:56 to put the Dons up 2-1. Ultimately, this strike proved to be the game-winning goal for the green and gold. 
 
Overall, Zimmerman recorded a career-high 3 shots and 4 points while also playing a career-high 78 minutes against San José State.
 
For San Francisco, this award marks the first Player of the Week honors for San Francisco this fall.
