Duquesne University junior swimmer Edward LeBlanc (Raleigh, N.C./William G. Enloe) was named the Atlantic 10 Men's Performer of the Week for the week ending Nov. 8. It marks the second straight week a DU swimmer has won the award.

LeBlanc won all five of his individual races and swam on three winning relays as Duquesne turned aside Niagara, 115-82, on Nov. 6 before posting wins over La Salle (195-133) and St. Bonaventure (174-148) on Nov. 7. He captured gold in the 100-yard freestyle (45.65), 200-yard freestyle (1:40.42), 500-yard freestyle (4:39.32), 100-yard butterfly (51.37) and 100-yard breaststroke (59.69) and also helped the Dukes win the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:09.36) by nearly five seconds over La Salle and St. Bonaventure.

The Red and Blue return to action on Saturday, Nov. 14 as they host Clarion for a 1:00 pm meet at Towers Pool.
