MINNEAPOLIS — Susquehanna University junior running back Dave Paveletz (Warrior Run, Pa./Hanover Area) earned a spot on the D3football.com National Team of the Week for games played from Oct. 5–11.

Paveletz (right) ran for a school-record 288 yards on a school-record 47 carries to lead Susquehanna to a 28–13 win over the University of Rochester in a Liberty League game on Oct. 11. His four rushing touchdowns against Rochester tied his own school record. Paveletz also led Susquehanna with three catches for 37 yards.
