SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Santa Clara University's Cameron Rast was named the 2010 West Coast Conference Coach of the Year, headlining an extended list of Broncos honored with postseason awards on Wednesday.
Mykell Bates and Erik Hurtado were named to the 2010 All-West Coast Conference First Team while Brandon Zimmerman garnered second team honors. Keigo Kameya and Mark Daus were All-WCC Freshman Team picks. Murphy Campbell, Wesley Culver, Kevin Klasila and Eric Masch were named as honorable mentions.
In all, nine Santa Clara players were honored by the league.
It marks the fourth time in nine seasons Rast has earned the WCC Coach of the Year award. He has now led his alma mater to six NCAA tournaments and four WCC Championships since taking over the Bronco men's soccer program in 2002.
"Cam did such a masterful job of preparing his team for the conference schedule this year," said Santa Clara athletic director Dan Coonan, who signed Rast to contract extension during the offseason. "Being a Santa Clara grad and a member of our Hall of Fame, he is uniquely qualified to act as mentor and role model for these student-athletes. We are very excited that the WCC coaches have chosen to honor Cam in this manner and we couldn't agree more with their choice."
The 2010 Broncos went unbeaten in 13 of 14 games to close out the regular season and win the league title. During that streak, Rast reached the 100-win milestone as a head coach and has moved into third place all-time in WCC coaching victories with 53.
