University of Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagle Men’s Basketball’s Spencer Swenson (Fr., Sauk Rapids) has been named the NABC/D2CIDA National Player of the Week after leading his team to wins over Minot State and the University of Mary last week.
Swenson averaged 28 points and 10 rebounds per game while adding three blocked shots, two assists and a steal. He made 23 of his 35 shots from the floor (66 percent) and nine-of-11 at the free throw line (82 percent) in the victories.
Swenson made nine of his 15 field goal attempts, including one from three-point range and six-of-eight at the line in Minnesota Crookston’s 72-69 win over Minot State, adding seven rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal along the way.
Two days later, Swenson posted a career-high 31 points and matched his season-best with 13 rebounds to help the Golden Eagles down UMary 71-66. He went 14-of-20 from the floor and made all three of his free throws to become the first player in UMC history with five consecutive games with 20 or more points.
The double-double was the fifth of the season for Swenson, who was selected as Player of the Week in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
