University of Scranton women's swimmer Alyssa Bean has been named the Peggy's Scranton Athlete of the Week.

Bean earned the honor after a three-win performance in the Royals' season-opening 184-78 victory over Juniata Saturday afternoon at the John Long Center. She won the 50 back (28.66), 100 back (1:01.09), and 50 fly (28.00), and swam the backstroke leg on the winning 200 medley relay, scoring 27 points for Scranton.

The win moved Scranton to 1-0 on the season, while Juniata fell to 0-1. The Royals won 11 of 14 events, including both relays, and swept the top three spots in five events.

Scranton is back in action Saturday, Oct. 17, as it travels to Ithaca College for a non-conference tri-meet, including the host school and Hartwick College.
