NEWTOWN, Pa. – The Middle Atlantic Conference announced its latest Swimmer of the Week awards, and Arcadia University junior Francis Andersen was named MAC Swimmer of the Week after leading the Knights to a 193–69 home victory over Stevenson on Friday afternoon.

Andersen posted three individual victories in the meet and helped secure a relay win to cap the afternoon. He opened his individual scoring with a first-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle, touching the wall at 1:54.62 to narrowly edge teammate Braeden Wolf.
