SAN BRUNO, Calif. - The West Coast Conference has announced its men's soccer Player of the Week award-winner for September 19, 2011 and for the second consecutive time Santa Clara University's Erik Hurtado has earned the honor. Hurtado, who continues to lead the league in most every offensive category, has emerged as an early candidate for the league's Player of the Year.

Trailing by a goal against No. 14 California Friday, the junior from Beaverton, Ore. assisted in the Bronco equalizer, then scored the go-ahead goal prior to halftime to propel the Broncos to a 4-2 victory - Santa Clara's first road win in Berkeley since 1980. The All-WCC forward is looking to help SCU repeat as league champs. Santa Clara is off to a 4-1-1 start and sits atop the WCC standings.

Also Nominated: Doug Herrick, SMC; Brendan Roslund, USF
