Baseball Coach Mike Wilson has named former player Will Swisher as an assistant coach for the 2003 campaign.

Swisher, a four-year letterman and three-year starter for the Dukes from 1996-99, ranks among Duquesne's top 10 in seven career hitting categories. He is second in all-time home runs with 23, fifth in runs scored with 113 and sixth in doubles with 32.

He joins fellow former Dukes player Marc Marizzaldi who joined Wilson's staff last season.
