Gluck Named Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week

LANCASTER, Pa. - Swarthmore College freshman forward Erin Gluck has been named the Centennial Conference field hockey Offensive Player of the Week for the week ending on October 7th, as announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.

Gluck capped a memorable day with the game-winning goal just 57 seconds into the overtime frame as the Garnet defeated Gettysburg to move to 8-5 overall and 3-3 in conference action.

The freshman forward entered the contest with six points on the season and ended it with 12 points to become the third-best scorer for Swarthmore (five goals, two assists). With Gluck's offensive effort against the Bullets, Swarthmore managed its first win over Gettysburg since the 2000 season.

Swarthmore will return to play this weekend with a trip to McDaniel on October 13 at 1:00.
