SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Susquehanna University junior kicker Dwight Swaney has been selected as the team's Gus Weber Crusader Player of the Week, sponsored by the Golden Corral Family Steak House along Routes 11 & 15 in Shamokin Dam.

Swaney (Mifflinburg, PA/Mifflinburg) went 3-for-3 on extra points and averaged 34.5 yards on eight punts in windy conditions in the Crusaders' 30-21 loss to Lebanon Valley last Saturday at Lopardo Stadium.

Swaney's second extra point of the day was his 35 th of the season, breaking the previous school single-season record of 34 conversions set by Scott Miles in 1998. For the season, Swaney is 36-for-40 on extra points and has made 27 of his last 28 attempts.

He also ranks fourth in the Middle Atlantic Conference in punting with an average of 37.1 yards per punt, with 14 downed inside the 20 and a long of 56 yards.

The Golden Corral will donate a check for $100 in the name of Swaney to the charity of his choice during Friday's Quarterback Club luncheon at noon in the Shearer-Weber Dining Rooms in the Degenstein Campus Center on the Susquehanna campus.

Now in their eighth year of sponsorship of the Gus Weber Player of the Week award, Golden Corral has donated $7,200 to charity in the names of Susquehanna players.

The Player of the Week award is named after former Susquehanna University president Gustave Weber , who served as president of Susquehanna for more than 18 years and was a former standout player at Wagner College . He was an avid booster of Crusader athletics, and in particular the football team, which he coached for the final two games of the 1965 season.

The Crusaders (4-5 overall, 3-5 MAC) finish the 2004 season by hosting Lycoming (2-7 overall, 2-6 MAC) on Saturday at 1:00 at Lopardo Stadium.
